By: New Zealand's Synlait Milk raised its base milk price forecast for the 2024/25 season on Monday, as global commodities prices continue to strengthen, reported Reuters.
The company said it now expects the base milk price for the 2024/25 season to be NZ$9.50 ($5.55) per kg of milk solids (kgMS), up from its previous projection of NZ$9.00 per kgMS.
The base milk price is what a dairy company pays to farmers for milk.
Synlait previously hiked its base milk price forecast in October, while peer Fonterra raised its forecast earlier this month, amid rising global dairy prices.
