Fonterra Australia’s milk intake was up 3.6% YOY to 7M kg of milksolids in August.

According to the latest Global Update, the increase in milk collections reflected favourable conditions in northern and eastern Victorian regions supporting strong pasture growth and reducing reliance on conserved fodder.

Season to date collections were 12.5m kg of milksolids, +0.9% YOY compared to the prior year comparable.
