新西兰恒天然下调下一季牛奶预期收购价

       据外媒报道，近日新西兰乳业巨头恒天然（Fonterra）宣布，其2015/16牛奶收购价从原来的每公斤乳固体4.15元降至13年来的最低值3.90元。

    同时恒天然还表示，受低价影响，奶牛数量会减少，饲料喂养量也会减少，受此影响下一季恒天然牛奶产量将会下降4%。

    恒天然主席John Wilson表示，国际乳品市场萧条的大背景下，奶业预期面临压力。

    Fonterra Co-operative Group reduced its forecast farmgate milk price for the 2015/16 season from $4.15 per kgMS to $3.90 per kgMS.

    Fonterra is forecasting its New Zealand milk production to be at least 4 percent lower than last season as New Zealand farmers respond to the ongoing low prices by reducing herd size and feeding significantly less supplementary feed which is expected to have an impact on this Autumn's production. Chairman John Wilson said difficult conditions in the globally traded dairy market have put further pressure on the forecast.
