Dairy
All the good ideas I ever had came
to me while I was milking a cow.
—Grant Wood, American painter
The word, “dairy,” is synonymous with “wholesome.” Because of its dense nutritive properties, it’s a dietary staple across the globe. And by aligning with the highest-quality dairy brands in the world—including Fonterra, whose product is hormone-free—Batory delivers on the category’s wholesome promise.
We divide our dairy business into two categories. The first: commodities. That includes the powdered milk that feeds the world. Its global nature presents opportunities—like the promise of increased demand as populations grow. But the market is also among the most volatile. In the past, you could set your stopwatch to the rise and fall of dairy. Not so today. Price and supply, vulnerable to natural and man-made events, swing dramatically.
To help shield you from price spikes and shortages, we negotiate volume and fixed-price contracts. And we live and breathe the markets, responding to changes before you see them coming. Our stance on supply is equally proactive. Is a shortage on the horizon? Then the time to approve one of our many potential secondary sources is now.
The second area we serve: dairy-derived proteins. Once the best-kept secret among bodybuilders, whey has gone mainstream, showing up in shakes, bars, waters and teas. Demand spans generations: Athletes use whey-enhanced products to build muscle, baby boomers to maintain it. That opens the door for innovators.
Acting as your partner, Batory provides an innovation advantage. We can identify a range of ingredients to enhance your formulations. With access to any number of alternative sources, we can also manage supply gaps before they manage you. It’s part of our commitment to providing unparalleled service. Together with Batory, you’ll muscle your way through any challenge the marketplace presents.

MARKET TRENDS
Cost isn’t the only fast-moving element in the dairy market. A steady stream of new research, covering everything from digestion to weight loss, continues to change the way we buy, sell and consume dairy commodities and dairy-derived products.
The biggest opportunities in dairy lie in smoothies, dairy-based nutritional beverages and innovative yogurt products (U.S. Dairy Export Council).
Research continues to support the connection between probiotics, digestive health and immunity. For consumers, the dairy market remains the go-to place for probiotics (Packaged Facts).
Whey permeate—a co-product in whey protein production—is an exciting recent development in sodium reduction. By enhancing the characteristics of salt, whey permeate can be used to slash sodium content without sacrificing taste.
Nutrition bars with protein powder grew by 26% (U.S. Dairy Export Council).
Non-GMO verified food sales hit $472 million in the U.S. in 2010, up 25% (Clute).
