Limited impact along supply chain so far
Japan is important (but its not China)Japan is important (but its not China)
Impacts of the quake and nuclear crisis are multifaceted
Implications for global dairy depend on net impact of these
At t it lik l th t At present it seems likely that
– On a national basis, impacts along the supply chain are not severe
– Short term: no major short term impact on trade
– Medium term: ‐ Fiscal stimulus may boost import buying
– Local production reduced & being directed to liquid market

Dairy Export Market Outlook
Dairy commodity prices: bullish outlook despite some weakness
Prices will eventually come down; but trade will be at elevated levels
– Commodity prices too far above costs in too many regions
– Requirements in China will probably stabiliseq p y
– Demand will be slowed by retail price inflation
But not fast and not by as much as 2009 But not fast, and not by as much as 2009
– Demand conditions generally sound
– Lower cost regions remain constrained
– Costs of production will remain generally high
– No GFC on horizon
