Australia has a much flatter milk supply profile and supply is back there as well. It's back 3.6%, from 736m litres to 711m litres for the month.
The lift in US milk has slowed also and it's back to only 1.1% ahead of the year previous. All year it was running 4%, 3% and 2% ahead. However, now it's back to 1.1% ahead.
In August, it was 8.546 billion litres versus 8.451 the year previous.
These three countries are big players in the milk game. It helps stack up why prices are holding and improving.
