Fonterra has announced a record forecast opening organic milk price of $12.30/kgMS for the new season.

The co-op’s organic suppliers will get $9.25/kgMS as advance rate for milk supplied for the first four months of the new season – June to September.

Fonterra’s organic supply manager Stuart Luxton says the record price shows the increase in demand for their top-quality products and “really delivers back to our hardworking organic farmers”.

Meanwhile Fonterra has lifted last season’s organic milk price to $12/kgMS.

Last week Fonterra also announced a record opening forecast milk price for conventional milk - $10/kgMS.

Recently Organics New Zealand released its 2025 Organic Sector Market Report, which noted that the sector has grown from $723 million in 2020 to $1.18 billion in 2024. Exports totalled NZ$606.7 million, growing at nearly twice the rate of total primary sector exports.

Organic dairy is the second biggest sector, with exports up 39.5% from 2020 to $214 million.
