“Despite dairy exports falling, they accounted for one-fifth of total goods exports in May,” international statistics manager Jason Attewell said. "At its peak, dairy made up two-fifths of total goods exports."
The fall in milk powder, butter, and cheese exports was led by whole milk powder, down 37%, with quantities down 6.9%. Whole milk powder export values to China have been low this year compared with last year, but values to other countries have remained fairly stable.
