Dairy Farmers

National Milk gives farmers more choice and control of their milk price.

We help you lock in your milk price ahead of the season

We believe that Aussie Dairy Farmers deserve to know how much they can achieve for their milk in advance. That’s why our Fixed-Price Milk service offers you the opportunity to lock in a price for your milk up to 3 years ahead.

We help you sell your milk to more than one customer

Don’t want to put all your eggs in one basket? We can help you supply your milk to more than one customer, so you can better manage credit risk and take advantage of seasonal milk prices.

We help you access the Spot Market

Aussie farmers want better access to markets and market information. They want to know what their milk is worth at any time, and that they are getting a fair milk price determined via competitions. We can work together with you to help sell some of your milk at spot prices.

Your milk, your choice

We believe that with more choice farmers can make better decisions. We combine this with giving you market leading, independent information about the market values of milk so you can make better choices. We can also assist with cost hedging, such as grains, water and fertilizer.

Please get in touch today to find out how we can help you have more choice over your milk price.
