WELLINGTON Scott Darling Hurricanes Jersey , Dec. 10 (Xinhua) -- Falling international dairy prices are going to blow a hole of 6 billion NZ dollars (4.6 billion U.S. dollars) in New Zealand's economy, experts warned Wednesday after dairy giant Fonterra slashed its payout to farmers.
Fonterra Co-operative Group Ltd. cut its forecast payout for the 2014-2015 season from 5.30 NZ dollars (4.07 dollars) per kilogram of milk solids to 4.70 NZ dollars (3.61 dollars).
Fonterra Chairman John Wilson conceded that although farmers were expecting this lower forecast, the revision would put pressure on their farming business budgets.
"Falling oil prices, geopolitical uncertainty in Russia and Ukraine, and subdued demand from China as it continues to work through inventory are all contributing to ongoing volatility and weak demand," Wilson said in a statement.
Dairy prices plunged to their lowest point since August 2009 at last week's fortnightly GlobalDairyTrade auction.
New Zealand's key dairy export, whole milk powder Elias Lindholm Hurricanes Jersey , fell by 7.1 percent in the Fonterra-run GlobalDairyTrade auction to 2,229 U.S. dollars a tonne, dragging down the average dairy commodity price by 1.1 percent to 2,513 U.S. dollars a tonne.
Industry body DairyNZ, which forecast a loss of 6 billion NZ dollars to the industry, said the payout was the lowest in six years, following on from the record 8.40 NZ dollars (6.45 U.S. dollars) per kg of milk solids last season Brock McGinn Hurricanes Jersey , and would mean challenging times ahead as about 86 percent of New Zealand milk came from Fonterra farms.
"We've calculated that around a quarter of dairy farmers are facing some business risk this season at the 4.70 NZ dollars milk price. That means they will have difficulty meeting their interest payments, rent and farm working expenses without incurring more debt," DairyNZ Chief Executive Tim Mackle said in a statement.
"We don't expect milk prices to recover in the first half of 2015. So the start of the season next year in June will be when things could get really tough for farmers," said Mackle.
Radio New Zealand reported the loss in earnings would equate to 2.5 percent to 3 percent of New Zealand's gross domestic product.
Earlier Wednesday, Finance Minister Bill English said the fall in dairy prices would make the government's aim of returning to an operating surplus this fiscal year much more difficult.
The plunge in the forecast payout would create "an economic black hole," highlighting the country's over-reliance on a single industry, the main opposition Labour Party warned.
"Not only does this mean less consumer spending and stunted growth Sebastian Aho Hurricanes Jersey , it also puts the government's golden surplus target at risk," Labor finance spokesperson Grant Robertson said in a statement.
A report from the Ministry for Primary Industries on Wednesday forecast international dairy prices to remain "relatively low" in 2014-2015, with a gradual recovery from the first half of 2015 as growth in demand shifted to exceed supply in key markets.

Kundalini Yoga is the original and most powerful of the twenty-two schools of yoga, all of which are beneficial.

Kundalini Yoga is designed for the active person with responsibilities in school, work, family and the world. It was maintained as a secret oral tradition for thousands of years which protected the techniques from abuse Jordan Staal Hurricanes Jersey , but also created an unnecessary image of mystery. Kundalini Yoga can be practiced by anyone if it is done gradually and according to the instructions.
As our society becomes increasingly technological, our world becomes more intimately connected and influenced by its numerous cultures. The pace of change is on the rise and the stress on our body nervous system is increasing. The science of Kundalini Yoga allows us to tap into a technology that helps us cope with this escalating change. The inner science of the mind is the tool that will enable us to cope with the pressure of these changes. It is the mind that interprets our outer and inner worlds and it is the mind that we must train to guide us through the flow of change.
