Fonterra Co-operative Group today lifted its 2021/22 forecast Farmgate Milk Price range to NZD $8.90 - $9.50 per kgMS, up from NZD $8.40 - $9.00 per kgMS.
This increases the midpoint of the range, which farmers are paid off, by 50 cents to NZD $9.20 per kgMS.
Fonterra CEO Miles Hurrell says the lift in the 2021/22 forecast Farmgate Milk Price range is good news for both farmers and New Zealand communities. The new midpoint of $9.20 per kgMS would contribute $13.8 billion to the New Zealand economy this season.
“The increase is the result of consistent demand for dairy at a time of constrained global milk supply.
“In general, demand globally remains strong – although, we are seeing this vary across our geographic spread. Overall, global milk supply growth is forecast to track below average levels, with European milk production growth down on last year and US milk growth slowing due to high feed costs.
“It’s a similar supply picture in New Zealand. Earlier this month we reduced our forecast milk collections for 2021/22 from 1,525 million kgMS to 1,500 million kgMS due to varied weather and challenging growing conditions.
Fonterra verhoogt de verwachte melkprijs in Nieuw-Zeelandse dollar voor melkveehouders met 50 dollarcent tot $ 8,90 tot $ 9,50 per kilogram Milksolid. Omgerekend naar euro’s is dat gemiddeld € 47,20 per 100 kilo melk.
Hiermee stijgt het prijsniveau naar een hoger record sinds de oprichting van de zuivelverwerker. De gemiddelde uitbetalingsprijs komt te liggen op $ 9,20 per kilo vet en eiwit (ongeveer 11,5 kilo rauwe melk is nodig voor 1 kilo vet en eiwit).
