Australia is sparsely populated with cattle and sheep, and the quality of dairy products cannot be said.
相信很多初来澳洲的小伙伴都曾经经历过这种震惊的时刻——
In the supermarket, two liters of fresh milk in a large bottle cost $2!
The price of 1 litre is cheaper than mineral water.
The price is beautiful enough to shed tears.
At first, a lot of friends might not be willing to eat other things, but they drank milk every day.
However, the cheapest milk available in these supermarkets usually comes from supermarket brands such as Coles or Woolworths.
But milk from other manufacturers is not so cheap.
The supermarket`s own brand of milk has been supplied by Murray Goulburn, Australia`s largest dairy company, and German milk powder, known to Chinese friends, also comes from the company.
Recently, however, because of its insolvency, several world-renowned dairy companies have offered to buy it, and a number of Chinese companies, including Yili and Mengniu, have also made offers.
In the end, however, Murray Goulburn fell into the hands of Saputo, one of Canada`s largest dairy companies, for A $one billion three hundred and nine million nine hundred and ninety nine thousand nine hundred and ninety nine.
Murry Goulburn`s new owner, Saputo CEO Lino Saputo Jr, said he couldn`t understand why Coles and Woolworths`s milk could be sold so cheaply.
And said that in the future, such a status quo may not exist.
The price of the mineral water in the supermarket is three knives and one liter, while the soda is sold to a 5-liter, so for Mr. Saputto Jr., the price of one-liter milk is obviously not normal.
He even called the pricing a "giveaway," saying in an interview with ABC: "We`re not going to give away our products in such vain."
"our profits are much higher than the average profit in the dairy industry, so we have the ability to put our products ahead of the market in terms of price," he said.
With the acquisition, Saputo also inherited all of Murray Goulburn`s outstanding contracts, and they will continue to perform and complete those contracts.
But when these contracts expire, they will re-evaluate the cooperation.
"I don`t know what kind of economy is behind all this milk, but we`re going to have to rethink it when we take over," he said.
"I don`t think the price is correct for all the labor costs that dairy farmers pay for producing milk."
But it has also been revealed by the media that these big supermarkets are so old for (jian), deep (ju), how (hua), can do a loss of business.
Their ultra-low price is just a means of marketing:
Because milk is cheap, give consumers a feeling that everything here should be cheap.
But while milk is cheap, the price tag for other necessities may be higher than at other supermarkets.
So, all the money you saved from buying milk was actually spent on something else.
If we did not seriously compare prices, select the most cost-effective goods in various supermarkets, we would not take a penny of supermarket cheap ~
Hey. It seems that the age of "no matter how the price of milk goes up" is finally coming to an end.
