Dairy product prices rise from two-year low

Sep. 17 (BusinessDesk) - Dairy product prices rose in the latest GlobalDairyTrade auction, inching higher from the lowest level since July 2012, as declines in butter milk powder and cheddar were offset by gains in rennet casein and skim milk powder.

Butter milk powder dropped 6.9 percent to US$3,140 a tonne, while cheddar declined 6.5 percent to US$3,077 a tonne.

Butter fell 2.5 percent to US2,698 a tonne, while anhydrous milk fat gave up 2.2 percent to US$3,264 a tonne.
