The average price on the online auction platform Global Dairy Trade has not exceeded $US2620 a tonne since this time last year.

Average prices dropped as low as $US1815/tonne in ­August last year.

The most recent auction price resulted in an average rise of 3.8 per cent to $US2263/tonne with larger price increases in forward contracts.

Prices are still a long way off the peaks of upwards of $US5000/tonne in early 2014.

Despite the poor prices, world production continues to grow.
