The leading exporters of butter and ghee in 2023 were New Zealand, the Netherlands, and Ireland, with New Zealand being the dominant player. The past year saw varied performance across countries, with Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan experiencing notable growth, while New Zealand and the United States faced declines. Over five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates a modest overall increase in the sector, though certain nations like Lithuania and Argentina have struggled with consistent declines.
Looking forward, key trends to watch include the potential for market shifts in emerging markets, sustainable production practices affecting exports, and geopolitical factors influencing trade policies. The adaptability of these countries to changing consumer preferences in global markets will be crucial.
