In 2007, the world dairy market changed a lot with energy prices hitting a new level, such as petroleum, and a strong demand for biological energy. Quantities of corn are changed to ethanol in major dairy producing countries, resulting in strained supply and rising price. Consequently, the surging corn price as the main feed stuff for cows, caused breeding cow cost growth on a large margin and rising raw milk prices.

Internationally, supply for milk powder, especially SMP, whey powder declined with price growth. Domestically, under the influence of international market, export price of whey powder and milk powder as raw material increased by a large margin, resulting in increasing demand for domestic dairy material.

Recently, due to the purchasing price exceeding the breeding cost growth, benefit declined on year-on-year basis, farmers lost above 40% in the first half of 2007.
