In this edition: Opening farmgate milk prices | Dairy market updates | Dairy Code of Conduct ADPF input | Water buybacks risk | EU-FTA concerns

Australian dairy processors are navigating rising costs, global volatility and fierce competition as they secure milk supply and strengthen the regions.

This is the time of year when processors announced opening farmgate milk prices for the 13 months ahead and contracts are finalised. With the Dairy Code of Conduct setting the framework, scrutiny naturally increases across the sector.

In ADPF’s July eNews, we explore the market conditions impacting the value of milk across the country, how processors are responding, and what this means for Australia’s dairy future.

We also share insights on key submissions across productivity and the second review of the Dairy Code of Conduct, the industry’s new research report on the impact of water recovery in the southern Murray-Darling Basin (sMDB), and stories on dairy processors’ sustainability success.
