A record 13 dairy farms supplying milk to low-carbon dairy processor Miraka have achieved top honors in the 2023/24 season under Te Ara Miraka, the company's farming excellence program. Each farm will receive an additional premium of 20 cents per kg of milk solids on top of the company’s milk price, resulting in a forecast total of $8.00 per kg of milk solids, including the premium.
Miraka CEO Karl Gradon, joined by over 350 guests, celebrated this milestone at the company’s Annual Suppliers’ Awards Dinner held in Taupo last night.
“We’re proud of our top 13 farms – a new record for Miraka – who share first place equally, having each achieved the maximum 100 points under our farming excellence program, Te Ara Miraka. In recognition, each farm receives our full premium payment of 20 cents per kg of milk solids, on top of our competitive milk price,” said Karl Gradon.
“Our Te Ara Miraka program rewards best practices on-farm in sustainability, animal welfare, people, and milk quality. We incentivize our suppliers to be the world’s best in these areas. Miraka is committed to supporting our farmers with the best milk price for the best farms and people.”
“It all begins on the farm. Our products, made from the quality milk our farmers supply, have performed exceptionally well in global markets, and we have the solid backing of our shareholders. Accordingly, Miraka is well-positioned to share that success via our milk price and premium payments under Te Ara Miraka,” Gradon added.
