Feed cost update
==> picture [90 x 58] intentionally omitted <==
Feed is our largest input cost
Wheat price (as observed by Ingham’s) $A per tonne
Feed cost update
Feed prices have continued to remain at close to historically high levels, driven by continued dry conditions in Australia during FY2019
We are in the fortunate position of having a number of arrangements where we are able to pass through this cost
These contractual arrangements and our market position delivered intended outcomes in FY2019 to partially offset costs

Outlook for FY2020 feed prices remains uncertain due to the uncertainty regarding the outlook for rains across southern states in the coming months (which is required for a higher FY2020 crop)
We are well placed to minimise feed costs, with different execution strategies available depending on market and weather conditions
