Volatility defined ………….
• Volatility is a term given to frequent, significant and unpredictable fluctuations in a commodity's value– But volatility is a normal feature of commodity markets
• Mainly caused by mismatches in supply and demand, which can occur for many reasons.
• Understanding and managing volatility and associated risks is essential for businesses in the dairy sector
• For dairy products, minor changes in supply and demand can have major impacts on price due to lead and lag in supply chain

Demand for Dairy Fat is Increasing in US & EU
• EU Butter consumption up 3.7% in 2014, compared to annual average increases of 0.8% for 2004-2014
• EU Cheese consumption up 1.6% in 2014, compared to annual average increases of 1.1% for 2004-2014
• US Butter sales up 14% in 2014; Sales of whole milk up 11%, with Skim milk down 14%

Market Outlook
• In the absence of a rapid (weather-related) supply-correction, the coming months will be difficult for dairy farmers– some commentators forecasting weak prices out to H2 2016
• Market still digesting 2014 supply-overshoot and demand shocks
• Demand (+c.1.5%) will eventually catch-up with supply growth (+c.1.25%) & stocks: Question is when?
• Current (below cost of production ) prices are not sustainable for farmers or processors– Milk price recovery may lag recovery in product prices
• Long term, future is positive; – Fundamentals remain in place; world populations are growing, getting wealthier, and
becoming more positively disposed towards dairy fat and protein– Ireland has a competitive edge in milk production
19
In conclusion
• Volatility is increasing• Only the strongest in the supply chain and those that adapt will succeed• For farmers, the best insulator against volatility is a combination of:
– Open market returns– Fixed milk pricing schemes– Hedging on a relevant financial exchange when liquidity allows– Efficient and shrewd financial planning (in those key times of plenty)
For its part, Ornua’s volatility management mechanisms ensure its own product prices (as evidenced by the PPI) trade in a narrower, less volatile range than the market highs and lows
