Fonterra has raised its forecast milk payment to farmers for this season to match its previous record high, as demand for dairy holds up while supply tightens.
The co-operative lifted and narrowed its forecast farmgate milk price range for the 2021/22 season to between $7.90 and $8.90 per kilogram of milk solids, from $7.25 to $8.75 per kgMS.
The midpoint of the range, which farmers are paid off, increased to $8.40 per kgMS, from $8 per kgMS. That would match the previous record paid in the 2013/14 season and would see almost $13 billion flow into regional New Zealand.
