Price surge sweeps through dairy products, Polish government unlocks frozen butter
Focusing on the global phenomenon of soaring butter prices, using Poland as an example, the article analyzes the reasons behind the rise in butter prices and the governments countermeasures. It points out that factors such as tight dairy supply, the prevalence of cow diseases, and persistently high international demand have led to the surge in butter prices. The Polish government released 1,000 tons of butter from its strategic reserves and auctioned it at below-market prices to curb inflation. However, the rise in butter prices is just one aspect of inflation; controlling the upward trend in basic expenses such as electricity prices is key. Additionally, the article explores issues such as climate change affecting global dairy-producing regions and rising feed and energy costs.
