At the latest Global Dairy Trade auction, whole milk powder rose nearly 6% to US$3,971 per tonne, its highest level in about 14 months, while skim milk powder gained 3% to US$4,109 per tonne. Following the market gains, Fonterra raised the upper end of its current-season farmgate milk price forecast to NZ$10.50/kgMS, with a midpoint of NZ$9.75/kgMS.
Higher milk-powder prices lift dairy export revenues and can support stronger payments to New Zealand milk suppliers. Continued gains in demand and prices would reinforce upward pressure on farmgate milk values.
