Synlait revises milk price forecast to $9.00/kgMS


Synlait Milk Limited (Synlait) has reduced its forecast base milk price for the 2022 / 2023 season to

$9.00/kgMS from $9.50/kgMS.


The revised forecast reflects weaker global demand since September 2022, when Synlait’s last

update was provided. Demand has weakened as the cost-of-living increases globally, and economic

activity in China remains suppressed due to COVID-19 restrictions.


Synlait CEO Grant Watson commented: “Based on softer dairy commodity prices across the first half

of the 2022/23 season, and the outlook for the remainder of the season we believe it is appropriate to

lower our forecast base milk price to $9.00/kgMS.”


Forecasts are based on the best information available to Synlait at the time. Synlait will continue to

monitor movements and keep its farmer suppliers up to date.
