$8 final milk price likely
An $8/kgMS farm gate milk price is still on the cards with less than six weeks left to run this season.
Last night’s GDT auction saw the price index rise 0.8% to UIS$3483/metric tonne. GDT’s price index hasn’t seen a price drop since November last year.
A decline in milk production among key producing global regions is keeping prices up.
However, the flagship whole milk powder price was down 1.35 to US$3287/MT.
Butter prices saw another big jump- 5.8% to US$5374/MT. Skimmed milk powder was up 1.8%.
