據外媒報道，近日新西蘭乳業巨頭恒天然（Fonterra）宣布，其2015/16牛奶收購價從原來的每公斤乳固體4.15元降至13年來的最低值3.90元。
同時恒天然還表示，受低價影響，奶牛數量會減少，飼料喂養量也會減少，受此影響下一季恒天然牛奶產量將會下降4%。
恒天然主席John Wilson表示，國際乳品市場蕭條的大背景下，奶業預期面臨壓力。
部分原文報道如下：
Fonterra Co-operative Group reduced its forecast farmgate milk price for the 2015/16 season from $4.15 per kgMS to $3.90 per kgMS.
Fonterra is forecasting its New Zealand milk production to be at least 4 percent lower than last season as New Zealand farmers respond to the ongoing low prices by reducing herd size and feeding significantly less supplementary feed which is expected to have an impact on this Autumn's production. Chairman John Wilson said difficult conditions in the globally traded dairy market have put further pressure on the forecast.
