Anhydrous Milk Fat Price Trend for the First Half of 2024
In the first half of 2024, the price trend for anhydrous milk fat (AMF) reflected the broader dynamics observed in the butter market. AMF, a concentrated form of butterfat with almost all moisture removed, is highly valued in the food industry for its long shelf life and versatility in applications ranging from baking to confectionery. As butter prices rose steadily, driven by factors such as increased production costs due to higher energy and fertilizer prices, supply chain disruptions, and extreme weather conditions, the price of AMF followed a similar upward trajectory.

The dairy industry's rollercoaster ride, triggered by political instability and environmental challenges, led to increased costs for dairy farmers, pushing up the prices of milk and, subsequently, all dairy-derived products, including AMF. Additionally, the renewed recognition of milk fat's nutritional value and consumer preference for natural, high-quality products like butter contributed to sustained demand, further supporting higher prices for AMF. Despite some consumer shifts to alternatives due to the cost-of-living crisis, the demand for AMF remained robust, underpinned by its industrial significance and the ongoing market volatility in the dairy sector. This complex interplay of factors kept the price of AMF on a steady incline throughout the first half of the year.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, the Anhydrous Milk Fat prices are not likely to dip down anytime soon in the coming months; market consolidation is expected.
Anhydrous Milk Fat Price Trend for the Second Half of 2023
Anhydrous milk fat has a unique composition, which primarily consists of saturated fatty acids. This distinct feature is well exploited in the food industry to enhance the texture, flavor, and consistency of food products. In addition to this, its stable shelf life and ease of storage also make it a preferred choice of manufacturers.
The above-stated factors supported the rise in the prices of anhydrous milk fat during the third and fourth quarters of 2023. The prices saw a consistent rise as the anhydrous milk fat market witnessed the most significant jump among several dairy products.
The hike in prices came from rising global food inflation and consecutive inclination in dairy product demand. Additionally, the disruption of supply chains due to the blockage of the Red Sea route and drought in Panama Canal resulted in quick depletion in the inventories; however, the consumer interest in this sector kept on rising, and thus, the traders had a window of inclining the prices of anhydrous milk fat during the end two quarters of 2023.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, the price of Anhydrous Milk Fat is expected to rise further as the global demand is increasing at a quicker pace than the production rate, increasing the gap between supply and procurement.
Anhydrous Milk Fat Price Trend for the First Half of 2023
The first two quarters of 2023 were unfavorable for the hike in the prices of anhydrous milk fat. The prices of anhydrous milk fat, even when the price of many other foods continued to rise at double-digit rates, have dropped significantly. Rising food prices have replaced falling energy prices as the primary cause of inflation for consumers in the European region.
Its decline was due to decreased energy and cattle feed prices, as well as lower consumption, which resulted in a surplus of milk output starting from the initial months of the first quarter of 2023. More downward pressure on wholesale prices, which have been declining globally since last summer, is anticipated eventually as demand declines. These decreased wholesale prices, along with declining energy and material expenses, kept the price trend of anhydrous milk fat in the negative zone.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, the price trend of Anhydrous Milk Fat is expected to show a mixed trend. The demand sector for anhydrous milk fat seems weak, and along with the fall in the prices, the trend of anhydrous milk fat is estimated to remain uncertain.

Anhydrous milk fat remained on an upward trajectory. Q3 continued to witness a steep rise in Anhydrous milk fat prices whereas trend improved a little in Q4 as supply chains normalized, but still, the prices remained high comparatively.
North America
With high rising inflation and declining milk production rate, the anhydrous milk fat price trend in North America remained high. The year-on-year milk production in the USA has been on a decline, so lesser supplies, high inflation, and sustained demand kept the price trend for anhydrous milk fat afloat. As the year-end approached, improved connectivity called for some low-rising peaks in the prices of anhydrous milk fat.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, the anhydrous milk fat is going to show a mixed price trend, considering the rising consumption and equally stagnant production. Hence, the prices are expected to remain high swinging.
Anhydrous Milk Fat Price Trend For the First Half of 2022
Asia
The price of anhydrous milk fat remained strong during the first quarter in the Asia-pacific region. In January, the prices averaged 6668 USD/MT and reached the highest levels in March, averaging 7111 USD/MT owing to the soaring commodities prices due to the Russia- Ukraine conflict. The trade bottlenecks, supply-side constraints, and thinning inventories supported the higher prices. However, the prices began to stabilize, registering a slight decline. The cost of anhydrous milk fat went from 6802 USD/MT in May to 5913 USD/MT in June 2022. This decline resulted from the market’s demand destruction amid abnormal inflation.
Europe
The Russian invasion of Ukraine created huge volatility in the European market with strong reverberations across the milk sector. Farmgate milk prices went from 45.96 Euro/100kg in April to 48.52 Euro/100kg in June 2022. These inflated prices of food and feed impacted the price trend for anhydrous milk fat resulting in higher prices. The prices of anhydrous milk fat went from 5800 Euro/MT in January to 6981 Euro/MT in June 2022.
North America
The US dairy and allied sectors struggled to maintain a constant supply due to surging feed costs, trade bottlenecks and labour shortages. The butter and farmgate milk prices averaged 6008 USD/MT and 27.30 USD/CWT respectively in June. These high feedstock prices strengthened the prices of anhydrous milk fat in the US domestic market.
