Board members of the Irish milk processors will meet after Easter to set March milk price.

The New Zealand GDT dairy auction result fell unexpectedly by 4.7% this week, compounding the 2.6% fall at the auction two weeks ago. Whole milk powder was down 5.2% with skim down 2.5%. This means the average index result is the lowest it has been in two and half years as China buying remains sluggish.
The result came as New Zealand’s largest co-op Fonterra revised downwards its latest price prediction to $8.30/kg milk solids or the equivalent of 35.4c/l.
European co-op heavyweights FrieslandCampina and Arla have set April price this week at 45c/l and 47c/l, respectively.
