New for 2017: Organic Dairy Sector Report
 In the first quarter of 2017 Mercaris released a comprehensive, research-based white paper on the organic dairy market, with a focus on the various classes of dairy that result from processing fluid milk. This report analyzes supply and demand factors for various classes of organic dairy components including beverage/fluid milk, yogurt, cream, cheese, milk powders, and butter. It also delves into the structure of pricing and contracting practices and includes information on dairy processing infrastructure, logistics and economics.
On March 9, Mercaris hosted a working group comprised of a dozen companies that process organic milk or other dairy products to discuss the findings of this paper and talk through some of the challenges within the organic dairy product supply chain. The discussions were highly productive and Mercaris looks forward to offering our clients market-oriented solutions around organic dairy products. If you would like to purchase the report, you can access and download it here.
