The lender CoBank reports that dairy farmers are increasing herd size. Private label organic milk and other products will create growth opportunities for dairy processors.
Despite the current excess supply environment, rising demand points to a bright future for the U.S. organic milk industry. This has led a record number of dairies to transition to organic milk production, according to a report from Colorado-based CoBank.
Organic milk generates the highest sales of any certified organic commodity. Steady demand growth will lift organic fluid milk market share and further stimulate product innovation.
