Australian milk exports rebound after three-year decline Demand from China and Malaysia lifts 2025 forecast by 9.5%18 June 2025 18 June 2025 1 minute read 1 minute read By: By: Global Ag Media Asia OceaniaAfter three years of decline, Australia’s fluid milk exports are set to grow by 9.5 percent in 2025, reaching an estimated 185,000 metric tons, according to FAS/Canberra. In the first quarter of 2025, export volumes rose by 5.7 percent year-over-year to 41,400 metric tons. While Australia ships milk to more than 40 countries, China and Singapore remain top destinations, each accounting for about one-quarter of total exports in 2024. Exports to China, once Australia’s leading fluid milk market, fell sharply after 2022 as domestic production in China surged. Shipments to Malaysia showed early growth in 2025 but have since moderated, while exports to the Philippines declined sharply.
