An ETS-Based Time Series Analysis of Monthly Milk Prices in Türkiye

Öz

Milk prices play a crucial role in the sustainability of the dairy sector, affecting producers, processors, and consumers alike. In Türkiye, recent years have been marked by sharp increases and heightened volatility in milk prices, raising concerns about market stability and forecasting reliability. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of monthly milk prices in Türkiye and to evaluate the forecasting performance of an Error–Trend–Seasonality (ETS) exponential smoothing model. The analysis is based on monthly milk price data covering the period from 2005 to 2024. Descriptive statistics and graphical analysis reveal a strong upward trend combined with pronounced seasonal fluctuations, particularly after 2020, indicating a clear structural shift in price behavior. To model these characteristics, an ETS framework was employed, and model selection was conducted using standard information criteria. Forecast performance was assessed through an out-of-sample evaluation using commonly applied accuracy measures. The results show that the ETS model captures the overall trend and seasonal structure of milk prices reasonably well under relatively stable conditions. However, forecasting accuracy declines during periods of rapid price increases, reflecting the limitations of historical time-series models in the presence of structural changes and market shocks. Despite these limitations, ETS-based forecasts provide useful short-term insights into price movements. Overall, the findings suggest that ETS models can serve as a transparent and practical baseline tool for monitoring milk price dynamics in Türkiye, particularly when complemented with broader market information. The study contributes to the literature by offering updated empirical evidence on milk price behavior and highlighting the strengths and constraints of exponential smoothing approaches in volatile agricultural markets.
