April 14, 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dairy farmers have thanked Woolworths for lifting the price paid to them for milk by 10 cents per litre.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is extremely welcome news, and I thank Woolworths for their understanding and assistance in the very uncertain and difficult times,\u201d eastAUSmilk president Tim Bale said.<\/p>\n

The producer group, which represents dairy farmers in Queensland and NSW, said the cost of diesel, fertiliser and other products had continued to rise, causing major losses. <\/p>\n

The group said many farmers had no choice except to cull cows.<\/p>\n

\u201cI worked with Woolworths 12 years ago to set up Farmers Own milk with direct suppliers around the country,\u201d Mr Bale said.<\/p>\n

“I am grateful that I was able to negotiate a 10c\/l lift in prices with Woolworths on behalf of my farmers in NSW and Queensland.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to see all retailers and processors follow the lead set by Woolworths in lifting prices paid to dairy farmers by 10c\/l immediately. It is important for all dairy farmers to receive a price increase.<\/p>\n

\u201cWoolworths has clearly set the precedent and any processors or retailers that do not follow their lead over the next week will see a plummeting of their milk supply over the coming months.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no time to wait, and I implore all processors and retailers to lift prices now before it is too late.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
