Murray Goulburn milk intake down almost 30 per cent
Dairy processor Murray Goulburn has reported that its milk intake plummeted almost 30 per cent in the first half of fiscal 2018, and attributed the fall to its “inability to pay a competitive milk price” to farmers.
The processor reported a milk intake of 1.1 billion litres for the half, and total revenue of $1.1 billion in its first half results released to the market on Wednesday morning.
