Dairy Price Index

The Dairy Price Index is computed from two price quotes each (one for Europe and one for Oceania) for butter, skim milk powder (SMP) and whole milk powder (WMP), and one price quote for (Oceanian) cheese. The average of quotes is weighted by world average export trade shares for 2002–2004.
