Tonkens Agrar - Better farm gate milk prices reduce losses

As management predicted at the interim stage, the sustained increase in farmgate milk prices helped Tonkens Agrar (Tonkens) deliver an improved performance during FY16/17. Self-help initiatives, such as a drive to gain new customers for processed potatoes and onions, also helped. The group remains vulnerable to changes in commodity prices. The current slump in potato prices for example makes it unlikely that there will be a further performance improvement in FY17/18.
