SDA announces milk price increase
SAPUTO Dairy Australia (SDA) has advised its suppliers of a step up in minimum milk price of $0.15 per kgMS for the 2024/25 season.
This step up increases the weighted average farmgate milk price to $8.30-$8.45 per kgMS for exclusive supply in the southern milk regions (being Gippsland, south west Victoria, South Australia, northern region and Tasmania).
This payment will be made with April proceeds during May and automatically applied to all qualifying milk supplied under SDA’s published exclusive milk supply agreements from July 1, 2024.
SDA milk supply and planning director Kate Ryan said SDA remained committed to paying a competitive milk price.
“During the current season, we’ve seen continued stabilisation of commodity prices for the start of calendar year 2025,” she said.
“Meanwhile, domestic market challenges persist as cost of living pressures impact the local trading environment.
“Consumers remain cost sensitive and value focused.
“As we look to the 2025/26 season ahead, the outlook for domestic and global demand remains uncertain and volatile, with geopolitical tensions and inflationary pressures still impacting purchasing activity.”
The milk prices quoted above are a weighted average across SDA’s supply base.
Milk prices achieved at the individual farm level will vary and final milk prices will be influenced by a variety of factors on farm.
Updated milk supply agreements will be published on SDA’s website at www.saputodairyaustralia.com.au/milk-supply.
