Ten per cent price rise in milk price tipped
30 Sep 2004
Milk prices at the farm gate may increase by as much as 10 per cent, Tatura Milk Industries Jeff Martin said. ABARE recently forecast that milk prices would increase by 4.5 per cent. Martin said that improved seasonal conditions, the improved exchange rate and better international commodity prices would help drive up milk prices. He said that rising oil prices and rising irrigation costs in some regions may dampen any improvements in returns to dairy farmers.
