Milk price data and Milk Supply Agreements (MSAs) and their contract features for the new 2022-23 season (up to 13 June) are now available on the Milk Value Portal (MVP), providing current and historical data on the value of raw milk across Australia and new insights into where opening farmgate milk prices are landing.
This recent activity – marking the first major update since the 2021/22 pricing data was released – provides farmers with even greater transparency and understanding on the value of raw milk being paid by dairy processors to farmers.
In collaboration with dairy industry analyst Freshagenda, what we’re seeing is:
The MVP is a well-established, credible source of primary information that, particularly in the month of June, helps foster better decision making by providing farmers with insights on milk price and how milk is valued in each 12-month production season.
The reduced availability of domestic milk supply and the increased costs of raw materials is putting immense pressure on processors, which is confounded further by the difficulty to pass through full cost increases along the supply chain.
Through this, processors remain steadfast in their commitment to provide farmers with greater transparency and understanding on the value of raw milk across Australia, aligned with Commitment 5 of the Australian Dairy Plan.
The ease and accessibility of new information on the MVP, in arguably the most important month of the year, provides farmers with clear price indicators and greater certainty around the upcoming milk price season.
Farmers and farm advisors are encouraged to use the MVP to help navigate their way through contract conditions, offered farmgate milk prices, and the market factors driving them.
