Some 183 bidders took part in the auction and a total of 41,945t was sold.
Announcing the Glanbia milk price at the start of this week, Glanbia chair Martin Keane said:
“However, this surge in milk supply has coincided with a very strong start to the New Zealand milk production season, with a cumulative 15% drop in the GDT price index since June resulting in reduced forecast milk prices.”
“It should also be noted that there has been a rapid decline in European butter markets, with Dutch Dairy Board reported prices down from €6,100 per tonne in June to €4,700 per tonne this week.”
Prices for the GDT were as follows:
AMF index up 1.0%, average price $5,106/t (€4,408).
Butter index up 2.4%, average price $4,114/t (€3,551).
BMP not offered.
Ched index down 1.8%, average price $3,404/t (€2,938).
LAC index up 1.5%, average price $926/t (€799).
RenCas index down 1.7%, average price $5,426/t (€4,684).
SMP index unchanged, average price $1,977/t (€1,706).
SWP not offered.
WMP index down 0.9%, average price $2,729/t (€2,355).
