This week’s #MPOMilkMinute will analyse the unprocessed #milk production in the major dairy exporting regions.
According to Bertus van Heerden, chief economist at the Milk Producers’ Organisation (MPO), only two of the six regions considered, namely the European Union (EU), Australia, New Zealand, United States of America (USA), Uruguay and Argentina, considered has experienced positive growth. The EU experienced positive growth of 1% and Australia 4,5%.

An amendment has been proposed to Act 36 of 1947, to the effect that certain high-risk crop protection products may henceforth only be applied by registered farm protection operators. This also limits who producers can buy these products from.
The document is open for comments and can be found on the AgriOrbit website: https://agriorbit.com/letter-to-grower-associations/

Reflecting on the MPO Milk Minute from last week, Bertus van Heerden (MPO Chief-Economist) zooms in on the two different approaches to the economy.
Bertus mentions that supply-side economics and demand-side economics rotate either supply or demand depending on the approach. In South-Africa where we are faced with a weak economy and poor economic policy, we must make use of both of these approaches.
Taking a look at international farmgate prices:
· European Union (EU) price average is currently on a flat trajectory, staying stagnant at R8.82 (exactly the same in June 2024 as in June 2023).
· New Zealand (NZ) price in June 2024 at R6.37.
· United States of America (USA) price is on an upward trend with the price increasing from R7.83 in January 2024 to R9.00 in June 2024.

The combination of LAR and SYF genetics has been working exceptionally well for Bonsmara Genetics, as can be seen in the bull, AH 21-45. On the sire side, the bull has an impressive build thanks to LAR 17-467, which can be traced back to bulls LAR 09-281 and LAR 07-55. On the dam side, the conformation of bulls such as SYF 10-78 and SYF 07-36 has made a significant impact in the Bonsmara industry. AH 21-45 is an early-maturing, medium-frame bull with almost perfect balance and conformation, which should capture the attention of the stud industry. He has already sired calves, with heifers that calve easily. Judging by his calves, he will make an impact at stud level.
This bull will be on sale at the upcoming Bonsmara Genetics auction of 9 August on the farm Smallepad in the Roedtan area. For more information, contact Jannie Senekal at 082 899 5047, Christoff Smit at 082 854 8316 or André van der Heyde at 082 3340 491.

According to Bertus, the recent 9% increase in unprocessed milk production (May 2024), motivated the MPO to do a survey amongst 80 farmers, to inform our view on communication in the value chain (primary and secondary). Watch the video below for more information.
