SYNLAIT
ANNOUNCES
$7.00 KGMS
FORECAST MILK
PRICE
Synlait Milk’s (NZX: SML; ASX: SM1)
opening forecast base milk price for
the upcoming 2019 / 2020 season
is $7.00 kgMS.
Synlait also announced its’ forecast
base milk price for the 2018 / 2019
season has increased from $6.25
kgMS to $6.40 kgMS.
“The increase to $6.40 kgMS for
this season is due to recovering
dairy commodity prices since our
last update in January 2019,” says
Leon Clement, Synlait’s CEO.
“We’ve seen steady improvements
in prices since the start of
December, recovering a lot of the
ground lost earlier in the season,”
he says.
Synlait is positive about pricing
for the 2019 / 2020 season but
acknowledges the $7.00 kgMS
relies on pricing remaining robust
throughout the season.
“We think that’s realistic in the light
of the current slowdown in world
supply and strong demand from our
key markets,” says Mr Clement.
“But as always, these forecasts
are based on the best information
available to us and we are
recommending that our farmers
remain cautious in the face
of geopolitical and economic
uncertainties. We will continue to
assess movements to ensure our
dairy farmers are kept up to date.”
Synlait’s final milk price for the
2018 / 2019 season will be
confirmed alongside the annual
result announcement in early
September 2019. The forecast for
the 2019/2020 season will also be
updated at this time.
