The following report is from the Trends Journal:
Milk prices could climb to record levels over the next 12 months as China’s demand for dairy surges, New Zealand-based Fonterra, one of the world’s largest milk exporting companies, predicted on 25 May.
A kilogram of milk solids – about 2.2 pounds – will leave dairy farms priced at about US$5.79 to US$6.34 over the 12 months beginning 1 June, the company forecast.
“China is leading the charge” in global dairy demand “as its economy continues to grow,” Fonterra CEO Miles Hurrell said in comments quoted by the Financial Times.
Growth in global milk supply seems muted and the global supply of whole milk powder is looking constrained.
China’s new thirst for milk is set to benefit New Zealand, which some have dubbed “the Saudi Arabia of Milk”: the white stuff makes up about a third of the nation’s exports.
Milk is the latest commodity to face rising prices and probable shortages as the world’s economy rebounds.
TRENDPOST: Once again, the higher the prices of goods and services, the less consumers buy. Thus, it will appear that retail sales will rise… but not because consumers consumed more, but because it cost more to buy products.
Copper, iron ore, tin, and timber are among other materials that have posted record prices in recent weeks, leading some analysts to predict a commodity “supercycle,” in which demand outpaces supply for an extended time, elevating prices above their long-term averages.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
WinePress readers already know, beyond the basic supply and demand, one of the underlying reasons for this inflation of milk: the move to get the masses off the meats, which includes what the “farting cows” produce, the milk.

[1] Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; [2] Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; [3] Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. [4] For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: [5] For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.1 Timothy 4:1-5
Before the elites went really put their foot to the petal on meats and livestock, they went after milk and had all sorts of regulations passed to allow milk at the grocery store to go through ridiculous amounts of processing, removing the actual benefits of it. This is why raw milk is the best. It is much harder to find as you will probably have to purchase it directly from independent farmers. Do not listen to the propaganda that raw milk is some “evil” thing.
Additionally, in light of this news, it perhaps would not be a bad idea to stock up on some extra milk powder before it hyperinflates and/or the grid goes down.
[23] Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds. [24] For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation? [25] The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered. [26] The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field. [27] And thou shalt have goats’ milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens.Proverbs 27:23-27
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
