The significant increase in the price of butter is also the only bright spot on the dairy market, which is clearly taking a step back this week.

Whole milk powder is stable, 100 kilograms of whole milk powder yields 365 euros per 100 kilograms this week, just like last week. Extra quality skimmed milk powder is losing value for the second week in a row. For 100 kilograms of extra quality skimmed milk powder, traders will pay 255 euros this week, 2 euros less than last week. After ten weeks of a steadily rising price, skimmed milk powder for animal feed purposes has fallen by 6 euros this week. This week, 100 kilograms of milk powder for animal feed costs 235 euros per 100 kilograms.

Whey powder also gives up some ground and yields 4 euros less this week. The trade currently pays 80 euros for 100 kilograms of whey powder.
