    Encouragement for dairy farmers, with the head of Fonterra saying there's light at the end of the tunnel

    Encouragement for dairy farmers, with the head of Fonterra saying there's light at the end of the tunnel


    Fonterra

    Global dairy prices dropped 7.4 percent last week - with whole milk powder plunging 10.9 percent.

    Fonterra's twice recently cut its forecast Farmgate Milk Price.

    It's put the midpoint at six-dollars-75-per-kilo of milk solids, down from seven.

    Fonterra CEO Miles Hurrell says there'll be a bit of pain over the next few months - but demand is picking up.

    He says he'd like to think by the end of this year into early next year, there'll be signs of life.
