DairyNZ lifts breakeven milk price forecast to $8.68 for 2025/26 season
According to DairyNZ's latest Econ Tracker update, there has been a rise in the forecast breakeven milk price for the 2025/26 season.
DairyNZ chair Jim van der Poel was last week re-elected for to the farmer lobby board for another three-year term. This is despite many dairy farmers opposing recommendations made by the HWEN steering committee, which included van der Poel.
Van der Poel was one of 13 candidates vying for two seats up for DairyNZ election.
Earlier this year, sheep and beef farmers voted then Beef+Lamb New Zealand chair Andrew Morrison out of office.
The ouster was related to B+LNZ’s stance on emissions pricing, the very same stance DairyNZ supported.
