FONTERRA REVISES MILK COLLECTION FORECAST



Fonterra Co-operative Group Limited today revised the forecast for its 2021/22 New Zealand milk

collections to 1,500 million kilograms of milk solids (kgMS), down from its opening forecast of 1,525 million

kgMS.


Fonterra CEO Miles Hurrell says varied weather and challenging growing conditions across many parts of

the country earlier in the season saw actual milk collections down on the same time last year.


“We were expecting conditions to improve over the Christmas-New Year period, but this has not

eventuated.


“As a result, we have revised our 2021/22 forecast down 1.6% to 1,500 million kgMS.


In response to the lower milk supply, Mr Hurrell says at this stage no change is needed to the volume of

product the Co-op is offering on the Global Dairy Trade (GDT) platform.


“Due to the high demand for off-GDT sales, we had already reduced the volume we were offering on the

GDT platform earlier in the season.


“We will continue to monitor the situation and carefully manage our sales both on and off-GDT.”
