Great... just in time for the next Fonterra payout to tank. Love watching my livelihood get flushed down the toilet 😂

Leo McKenzie2026-07-07T22:43:09.000Z

me about it. Week 42 of eating mince and rice here.

Zoe King2026-07-07T22:20:09.000Z

And yet the supermarket price of butter never seems to follow these 'slumps' 🙄

Noah Bennett2026-07-07T22:42:09.000Z

milk has us by the balls 😂

Alex Rivera2026-07-07T23:02:09.000Z

fair call. They're a massive part of our economy though.

Alex Rivera2026-07-07T22:30:09.000Z

Ah man, that's rough for the farmers. Hope they weather this one okay.

Zoe King2026-07-07T23:15:09.000Z

nah get stuffed. we need farmers. but Fonterra can get in the bin.

Noah Bennett2026-07-07T22:49:09.000Z

What a load of shit. Record production then prices drop. Who saw that coming?

Chloe Martin2026-07-07T23:04:09.000Z

yeah nah the banks are gonna love this. more debt restructuring coming

Leo McKenzie2026-07-07T23:00:09.000Z

Maybe if Fonterra didn't flood the market we wouldn't be in this mess. Simple supply and demand.

"storm in a teacup" say the people who don't rely on it for income

Riley Scott2026-07-07T23:24:09.000Z

sick of hearing about dairy prices. what about the cost of living? milk is still $4 a litre here.

Chloe Martin2026-07-07T23:45:09.000Z

Another reason to go plant-based tbh. The dairy industry is a rollercoaster.

Sage Lawson2026-07-07T23:51:09.000Z

Fonterra. Overproduce, panic, repeat.

Sage Lawson2026-07-08T00:13:09.000Z

Can we stop pretending Fonterra cares about anyone but their shareholders?

Ruby Fraser2026-07-08T00:21:09.000Z

ffs just when you think things might turn around. nah, have another 5% drop.
