Organic Dairy: battered, bruised, but back on the up?

After Chris’ report this week, he joins Will and Ben with guests Rob Daykin from Daykin Partnership and North Devon farmer Adam Stanbury to discuss Organic Dairy. Following the report this week co-authored by Rob, Chris and John Allen, titled “Organic Dairy: battered, bruised but back on the up?”, Rob and Chris discuss the organic milk markets after a sustained period of poor milk price & how the cost-of-living crisis has affected organic demand, as well as the challenge to processors in managing seasonal supply of organic milk; typically tight supplies in autumn and oversupply in spring. Rob & Adam discuss the challenges facing organic dairy farmers such as availability of raw materials, with reliance on importation & recent geopolitical instability. They also touch on the rise of regen ag & potential opportunities to work together & learn from each other to help drive organic dairy forward.
