Kite Consulting Milk Market Update & Lessons from a Land down under - Part 1
We continue our (virtual) international tour on this week’s podcast when hosts Will Evans and Ben Eagle are joined by Steve Spencer from Fresh Agenda Australia alongside John Allen and Chris Walkland giving us his usual milk market update. With news of UK retailers challenging suppliers on price, Steve shares his experience of retailer competition down under, including the long term impact of retailing “$1 dollar milk” on farmer and consumer sentiment & it’s effect on farm gate prices. On part 2 of the podcast with Steve, due to be released early next week we look at the Australian Dairy Code of Conduct, what it means to farmers & what lessons UK dairy farmers can learn from the Australian experience.
