Synlait chair Graham Milne said: “Tightened global milk supply and ongoing demand for dairy products has led to a 50% rebound in prices since July, which is starting to filter through to farmers.”
Chief executive John Penno added: “We remain cautious about the medium to long-term outlook and encourage our milk suppliers to take this into account as they make their plans.”
