By 2018-19, the EMI is projected to plunge to around 1,133 cents per kilo as graziers restock and production recovers.

The Eastern Market Indicator (EMI) gained strength during the first half of 2013-14, passing 1,140 cents per kilogram in December for the first time since May 2012. While, the huge offerings have kept a limit on further price rises.
