Dairy farmers struggling to breakeven can expect better prospects next season.

An improvement in global markets and a weak New Zealand dollar are behind the ANZ Bank's optimistic prediction of a $7.70/kgMS farmgate milk price for this season.

When dairy prices are down, it's normally linked to oversupply of products but global milk supply isn't the problem this time.

ANZ says businesses are now realising the advantages of clean transport options and this is driving huge change.

Smaller harvests and slightly stronger prices, but overall returns are well down for many growers.

Analysts remain divided on the forecast farmgate milk price for the new season, starting in less than two months.

Rising costs such as fertiliser, fuel and labour and an overall tightening of profitability is forcing dairy farmers to take a ‘more considered approach’ to their businesses.
