Monthly US All Milk Commercial Disappearance - Aug Butter – Commercial Disappearance up Marginally MOM Despite Higher Prices Jun ’14 U.S. butter commercial disappearance increased 2.8% YOY and 3.6% MOM on a daily average basis. Relative butter disappearance remains low, with May-Jun ’14 combined disappearance being the lowest two month figure in over a year. Demand for U.S. butter appears to have moderated due to recent significant price increases. The Jul ’14 announced butter price was up 52.2% YOY and 7.3% MOM, with additional gains experienced throughout the month of August. Higher butter prices have led to a decline in exports, with Q2 ’14 butter export sales 36.2% below Q1 ’14 sales on a daily average basis. ’13-’14 YTD butter commercial disappearance remains up 9.3% YOY, putting additional pressure on historically tight butter stocks. U.S. butter stocks remain extremely low, with Apr-Jul ’14 average butter stocks down 42.0% YOY.
