Dairy
Defra confirms that the key factors attributed to the increase in dairy prices
are the drought in Australia which has led to significant drop in milk supply
(approx 3 billion litres) coupled with increased demand coming from growing
consumption across the globe as incomes rise in developing countries for
example
China
and
India.
