Large Norwegian salmon farmers reported sharply higher third-quarter earnings on better biology and lower costs, despite lower volumes. Smaller farmer Proximar Seafood will convert about NOK 264m of parent-company debt into shares, cutting existing shareholders to about 6.4%.
Fonterra also lifted the midpoint of its forecast farmgate milk price by 25 cents to NZ$9.75 per kgMS.
Salmon is outside the feed-commodity basket, so the earnings news has little direct effect on feed demand. Fonterra's higher milk price forecast signals firm global dairy demand and supports dairy feed and milk prices.
