Incentive Price Urged To Boost Australian Dairy Industry
Mr. Voysey argues for an incentive price to revive dairy farming in Australia. He cites the UK formula paying the same price per pint of milk regardless of end use and notes it lifted production from 640 million to 184 million gallons. He contends a similar policy, set at 4d per gallon, could spur labour back to dairy work and match other primary producers, while acknowledging production costs and regional variations. He warns without action Australia risks undersupplying fresh milk and dairy products for the nation.
