8 Countries that Produce the Most Butter in the World

2. America

Production: 830,000

Between 2014 and 2015 butter production decreased by 1.4 percent in the US, while it is expected that the commodity output will record the growth of 2.4 percent in 2016. At the same time, the commodity export saw a sharp decline of 70 percent last year due to weak demand for US butter whose prices were above global level. Between 2014 and 2015 butter export value dropped from $285,855 to $91,654. Since the prices will go down in 2016, it is expected that the shipment will recover to 33,000 tons. Main export markets for America’s butter are Saudi Arabia and Canada. America is the only country in this ranking which saw a significant rise in imported butter. In 2014 the country bought around 70,000 tons of the commodity on the international market, while last year imported quantities reached 112,000 tons.
