The Milk Price Review is simply the money paid out for all manufacturing milk supplied in the calendar year divided by total litres supplied – all milk-based payments included. It is this simplicity that is key to the understanding of how the review is calculated regardless of peak to trough ratios, winter milk schemes, etc.
While it may seem late in the year (mid-2015) to be reviewing 2014 results, it is only possible to complete this work after all annual accounts have been published and KPMG have reviewed all information presented.
The year 2014 will go down as a good year for dairy farmers. Similar to 2013, average milk price paid out was over 36 c/litre.

This year, in a change to the presentation of results for dairy farmer returns, we report required farmer investment in their co-op (share up), co-op profitability and milk price. All three combine to form a foundation for sustainable dairy farm returns.
