Burra Foods announces FY27 opening minimum farmgate milk price range

Burra Foods has announced an opening minimum farmgate milk price range of $8.90 to $9.40 per kilogram of milk solids for the 2026–27 financial year, covering the period from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027.

The announcement was shared with Milk Supply Partners following a series of recent supplier meetings across Gippsland, where Burra Foods discussed seasonal conditions, milk supply, market dynamics and the outlook for the year ahead. A highlight of the meetings was reflection and discussion by participants on the recent Canada Study Tour, attended by more than 30 Milk Supply Partners. 

Burra Foods Chief Executive Officer Stewart Carson said the announced range acknowledges the challenges being faced by Milk Supply Partners, while also reflecting risk and volatility in markets. 

“We know many dairy farming businesses are continuing to operate in a challenging environment, and this opening minimum price range is intended to provide a solid starting point for the season ahead,” Mr Carson said. 

“Our focus remains on working closely with our Milk Supply Partners, supporting sustainable milk production and building long-term value for farming families and regional communities.” 

Burra Foods said it would continue to offer support measures for suppliers, including options designed to assist with farm cashflow and seasonal planning. 

The company also noted that recent autumn conditions had supported stronger milk volumes, while acknowledging the ongoing pressures facing dairy farmers and the volatility in global dairy markets.
