Fonterra have revised their 2021/22 forecast Farmgate Milk Price range to $9.10 - $9.50 per kgMS

  • from $9.30 - $9.90 per kgMS

Citing:

  • a number of recent events which have resulted in short-term impacts on global demand for dairy
  • in particular, the lockdowns in China due to COVID-19, the economic crisis in Sri Lanka and the Russia-Ukraine conflict
