The World Dairy Industry and the changing World Agenda 2017-2025
PM FOOD & DAIRY CONSULTING has
just published a new report
about the mega trends of political,
economic, and demographic
factors impacting the world dairy
industry from 2017 to 2025.
The new report contains 81 pages of valuable
information and analysis of the future
prospect for the world dairy sector in relation
to supply and demand for milk and dairy products
and the general market development.
The global agenda is changing very fast
and this impact all business segments including
the dairy industry. Since the 1990s,
the agenda for the dairy sector has changed
several times and the volatility on the world
market for milk and dairy products has increased.
The milk producers and the dairy
industry has been impacted directly because
the direct dairy support policies in
several regions have been dismantled and
the WTO I agreement has reduced the market
protection significantly and eliminated
the export subsidies.
The development until 2025 is the focus in
this report and the general global agenda is
expected to change significantly and impact
the world dairy sector. The faster dairy companies
can adapt to the changing environment
the stronger is the competitive position. The
losers will be the dairy companies that stick
to the old agenda and act defensively to protect
the markets and the products from the
impact of the changing global development.
Objectives and scope
The objectives of PM FOOD & DAIRY CONSULTING’s
analysis are to identify the major changes
in the global agenda from political, economic,
demographic, and other factors which
will impact the dairy industry from 2017 to
2025. This outlines the future framework and
the future agenda for the dairy industry.
