With us, you’ll never miss a thing!
SMP
At the beginning of the week, we saw the bids at a lower level than the indicators of the valuations of other items show. But by the end of the week, the price had increased. The situation does not change from week to week, but from day to day.
The phenomenon we are experiencing right now, is where we sales representatives close the goods at fair prices that are lower than the market rates, but the decisive factor is the fast arrival of the commodity, and the large quantities are offered in the range of 4050 EUR. The previous week provided increases in demand from Asian countries.
FCMP
This dairy powder was the only ingredient that remained at the level of the previous week. We see declines in roller FCMP, however, regarding liquid products, there have been no upward trends, so it is hoped this will come this week.
Sweet Whey Powder/Demineralized Whey Powder
A large amount of sweet whey powder has appeared on the market, which by some is believed to have been the reason for the distinuished excessive cheese production in recent months. The product is in stock and the price is very reasonable, but customers are quite well stocked and have no need for further purchases. On the other hand, lately we have received an increased number of requests for demineralized product, especially infant grade.
Gouda/Edam
Combined with the present stable production in all producing regions, stocks appear to be increasing for cheeses. This is also indicated by the fact that some buyers are noticing an influx of ‘older’ cheeses, reflecting the price of cheaper goods available on the market the previous week.
Butter/Cream/SMC
The very visible trend regarding butter in the past days, is the increase in price revolving the German market, where retail contractors confirmed rates nearing €7430-€7480/MT for July compared to being contracted at €7160/MT in June 2022.
Last week we’ve seen a considerable upswing in the cream market in the industry. We noticed the price of the raw material starting off the week at 8750 EUR/MT and some have been advised in a price reaching almost 8900 EUR/MT. This tendency in cream raise significantly opened the demand for cheaper butter where there was the possibility to do so. This trend also translated into the current price of AMF being quoted via producers where product is not seen below 9000 EUR/MT.
We were able to identify a stable market for SMC in the past week. With the upcoming days of a better serving weather condition for the cream intake – we are hoping this week can stabilize the price of cream on the Western European market.
