May 1, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

A new “trading and marketing platform” for the dairy industry could be on the cards if the Coalition wins the upcoming Federal Election.<\/p>\n

Agriculture Minister and Member for Maranoa David Littleproud said a re-elected Liberal Nationals government would provide funding to the industry to research and develop “more contemporary trading options for the dairy sector, to give farmers more choice, flexibility and price transparency”.<\/p>\n

He promised a $560,000 grant to Australian Dairy Farmers to contract an independent research group to develop, consult and market test a new trading and marketing platform, reporting back in February 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis initiative, in addition to the Liberal Nationals Government\u2019s implementation of a Mandatory Code of Conduct, responds directly to the ACCC report into the dairy industry which found that that dairy farmers are battling a range of market failures due to a strong imbalance in bargaining power,\u201d Mr Littleproud said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to not only strengthen dairy farmers hand in negotiations with processors, we also want to provide farmers more choice in the way they interact with the milk market to give farmers more market power.<\/p>\n

\u201cDairy farmers need more flexibility in how they sell milk – a new platform will give them more options, opportunities and flexibility.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cDairy farmers currently have limited selling arrangements, basically a supply contract.<\/p>\n

\u201cA new platform could allow dairy farmers to market their future supply, and give them options to get better prices and reduce business risk.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe project will look at the potential for a farmer to sell milk to multiple processors, or contract a portion of their future milk supply as a hedge – with an option to pull out and sell elsewhere if the farmer receives an offer to pay more for their milk.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrading future supply is available to other agricultural commodities but the dairy industry has not modernised in the same way.<\/p>\n

“Perishability is often flagged as the barrier but if more contemporary trading models can deal with this and provide more certainty and more choice for dairy farmers to market their milk, I am all for it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a forward looking, thoughtful investment which could deliver a big change for our dairy farmers.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
