据外媒报道，西太平洋银行（Westpac）近期宣布，由于全球牛奶价格大幅上涨，将2016-2017产季的牛奶收购预估价从原来的每公斤乳固体4.60元，提高到5.00元。
该价格接近于新西兰乳业协会（DairyNZ）估算的奶农盈亏平衡点每公斤乳固体5.05元。
在8月3日的最近一次全球乳制品交易（GlobalDairyTrade）拍卖会上，全球乳制品价格大幅上涨，其主要原因是全脂奶粉和酪乳粉价格呈两位数上涨造成的。总体来看，全球乳制品交易价格指数自8月3日以来上涨了12.7%。全脂奶粉价格增长18.9%至每公吨2695美元，远高于期货市场的价格。

Westpac has revised up its farmgate milk price forecast for 2016/7 to $5.00 a kg of milksolids from a previous forecast of $4.60/kg on the back of big gains in international dairy prices.
A $5.00/kg milk price would compare with DairyNZ's estimated average break-even point of $5.05 a kg.
Fonterra's current forecast is for a farmgate milk price of $4.25 a kg.
World dairy prices rallied sharply at the latest GlobalDairyTrade （GDT） auction, driven mostly by double digit gains in whole milk powder and butter milk powder.
Overall, the GDT price index gained by 12.7 per cent since the last sale on August 3, which itself showed a 6.6 per cent gain.
