Monthly New Zealand Milk Production2 - Jan Lower farmgate milk prices and the dry conditions are expected to temper future production gains. Fonterra revised its forecasted Farmgate Milk Price for the ’14-’15 season in December from $5.30/kgMS to $4.70/kgMS, noting that falling oil prices, geopolitical uncertainty in Russia and Ukraine, and subdued demand from China has contributed to ongoing volatility and weak demand in global dairy markets. In addition, dry conditions over both islands have raised drought concerns. According to USDA AMS, conditions are more severe on the South Island where some irrigation systems are being shut down, due to low river levels. New Zealand cooperatives have revised their seasonal forecasts with seasonal production now estimated to be ranging from flat to 1.5% above last year’s production.
