- The price of raw milk remains at a relatively stable level and is still historically high in the EU context.
- In some regions, seasonal declines in supply (e.g. due to reduced feed availability or climatic factors) could have a short-term price-supporting effect.
- In the case of cheese (if demand remains stable), a shift from milk to cheese production as opposed to butter/powder could help to cushion pressure on margins.
- Weak butter market: spot prices fall significantly, futures indicate further pressure → clear price weakness in the fat segment.
- Cheese market under pressure: Declining exports and rising stocks put pressure on price discipline.
- Futures fall: Market participants are apparently already expecting prices to fall further, especially for butter and possibly SMP.

Whey powder is obtained from whey. Whey is a by-product of cheese production. Whey is available as sweet whey powder or sour whey powder. Whey powder contains around 11 % protein and 70 % lactose.[3] The processes used for dehydration are divided into spray drying and roller drying. During dehydration, the milk loses some of its vitamins.
