The milk price include decreased due to global overproduction. But the main cause is according to policy consultant Klaas Johan Osinga of Agricultural and Horticultural Organisation LTO to lower demand from China. ,, It seems that they have there own milk more organized than before. There is more demand, there is also eagerly bought in the past. China is therefore a surplus of supplies. ” Reuters
