Our forecast for March

March is the beginning of a season for raw milk, casein and butter. The main factor on the market is raw milk intake increase. Usually it decreases its price and a price for final products. But, this year we see exchange rate decline which forces suppliers to keep or rise prices.
Traders will try to lower the price, but they are unlikely to succeed as always. The final role on the market would be the world butter price. We think that March 2018 will not be as usual as always. The production will start to rise but prices are unlikely to get low. Anyway, March is only a beginning of the season. April will be more informative
and precise.
