eastAUSmilk CEO Eric Danzi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

May 31, 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n

Queensland dairy farmers have expressed anger at a decision by major processor Lactalis to cut their milk prices by 5c per litre.<\/p>\n

“Given the massive shortage of milk in Australia, especially in Queensland and NSW, this announcement makes no sense at all,” eastAUSmilk CEO Eric Danzi said.<\/p>\n

(eastAUSmilk is the industry\u00a0organisation formed after the amalgamation of the Queensland Dairyfarmers Organisation and NSW’s Dairy Connect.)<\/p>\n

\u201cIt appears to be a poorly thought-out strategy designed to suppress milk price,” Mr Danzi said.<\/p>\n

“It is now likely that the strategy will backfire on Lactalis.<\/p>\n

“It is incredibly unlikely that Bega, DFMC and Norco will follow suit and as such Lactalis is likely to lose a lot of milk to other processors from their bold strategy.<\/p>\n

\u201cI strongly encourage all Lactalis suppliers speak to all other processors and be blunt about what price would get them to immediately sign a contract with another processor.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Most dairy farmers would tell you that given cost increases, anything less than a 3c\/L price increase is tokenistic and not worth signing a contract for.<\/p>\n

\u201cI strongly encourage dairy farmers, both Lactalis and other dairy farmers, that if a processor is prepared to offer a reasonable price increase on this year\u2019s price, be proactive and sign a contract with then immediately.<\/p>\n

\u201cProcessors who are proactive and prepared to offer reasonable price increases early must be rewarded with farmers signing contracts.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
