At that level the milk price would be one of the highest in Fonterra's 20-year history and comfortably above Dairy NZ's breakeven estimate of $5.80-$5.90/kg.
The co-op paid $7.59/kg in 2007/08, $7.60/kg in 2010/11, a record $8.40/kg in 2013/14 and $7.14/kg last season.

Chief executive Miles Hurrell said the lift in the forecast was a result of consistently strong demand for New Zealand dairy products.
