Time for change
Australian Milk Price Initiative
A fair, transparent and competitive market for Australian milk
Better milk price transparency and risk management for Aussie dairy
The AMPI market can:
- Give farmers more control over their milk price up to 3 years forward
- Let processors manage margins, fill stainless steel, and attract high value customers
- Help milk buyers have certainty of input prices
The Big Picture: Milk Pricing
- See our ABARES 22 presentation on where AMPI fits into the big picture of milk price (16 min mark), as well as other great presentations from ADPF, ACCC and ADF representatives.
- Margin and risk management can help deliver a stronger Aussie dairy industry: locked in prices 3+ years out, helping you manage budgets and plan for investment and growth.
- Our global dairy competition and other Aussie agricultural industries have these tools: that’s why AMPI received government funding via the ADF, and why it was included in the Australian Dairy Plan.
- The path to risk management starts with true price transparency: that’s what AMPI delivers.
