What’s going on here?
Fonterra is recalibrating its milk pricing to adapt to shifting global dairy trends, navigating mixed signals from production and international trade.

What does this mean?
Global dairy markets are a patchwork of trends: New Zealand’s milk production dropped 0.5% in April, while Australia edged up 0.4%, and the US increased 1.5%. Meanwhile, the EU saw a 0.8% decline in March. Exports also varied, with New Zealand seeing an 11.2% rise in April, but Australia’s exports decreased by 11.4% in March. On the import side, Latin America and Asia displayed significant growth at 11.5% and 9.5%, with China’s imports up 3.8% in April. Amid these diverse trends, Fonterra strategically set a farmgate milk price between NZ$8 and NZ$11 per kgMS for the 2025 to 2026 season, aligning with stable market demand.
Why should I care?
Fonterra’s pricing decision signals stability in the face of shifting global supply chains. As regions like the Middle East and Africa saw a 9.2% import drop in March, contrasting with Latin America’s robust import surge, these pricing strategies offer a counterbalance, boosting investor confidence and maintaining market steadiness despite mixed global signals.
