South Korea: Dairy and Products Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   KS2021-0022

Domestic milk production is forecast to stay steady at just over 2 million tons in 2022. 2021 milk production is projected to drop to 2.03 million tons after reaching 2.88 million tons in 2020. Milk production in 2020 benefited from favorable weather and higher price expectations. At the same time, COVID-19 related school closures resulted in weaker fluid milk demand. The resulting imbalance fueled higher dried milk production and larger dried milk stocks.
