Fonterra Co-operative Group Ltd’s FY24 Interim Results were announced today. Fonterra Australia delivered EBIT of NZ$42m (AU$39m). This was down 43% vs the first half of last year, mainly due to the high cost of milk in Australia, which is disconnected from global commodity prices.

Fonterra is integrating two important parts of its business, Fonterra Brands New Zealand (FBNZ) and Fonterra Australia. Together, this part of our business will be known as Fonterra Oceania.  

Fonterra Australia delivered EBIT of NZ$75 million (AU$69.3 million) in FY23, while paying a record-high milk price for Australian farmers and managing an operating cost increase of 23% on FY22.

Fonterra Australia today announced that the Fixed Base Milk Price for the 2018/19 season will be $5.90 per kilogram of milk solids (kg/MS), following the conclusion of its annual tender process.
