    Dairy farmers are facing a dismal milk 5 dollars 60 a kilogram payout forecast next season - because of the coronavirus crisis

    Dairy farmers are facing a dismal milk 5 dollars 60 a kilogram payout forecast next season - because of the coronavirus crisis


    Rabobank has lowered its predicted payout chiefly because less milk is likely to be consumed globally.

    Senior analyst Michael Harvey says milk consumption will take a big hit in Europe and the United States and that will flow through to farm gate prices.

    He says China is making a recovery but is expected to need less dairy products.
