食品伙伴網訊 據新西蘭媒體報道，近期新西蘭干旱情況惡化，全球乳制品交易拍賣的價格上漲10.4%。
據報道，目前的固體牛奶收購價比一年前高出23%,比2012年5月的低點高出了54%,與此同時新西蘭貨幣升值了7%。
新西蘭銀行（Bank of New Zealand）指出，乳制品價格上漲是一個好的信號，然而這是由于旱災導致供應量減少所造成的。
部分原文報道如下：
Worsening New Zealand drought conditions helped drive international dairy product prices up by 10.4 per cent at the latest global dairy trade auction, putting upward pressure on Fonterra's dairy payout forecasts for 2013/14 and beyond.
Prices are now up 23 per cent from a year ago and a full 54 per cent above their mid-May 2012 lows. Over the same period, the New Zealand dollar has increased in value by about 7 per cent.
While the dairy price improvement was a positive sign, it needed to be seen in the context of lower volumes thanks to the worsening drought, the Bank of New Zealand said in a commentary. Auction volumes were down 14 per cent compared to forecast, it said.
