Who won't stomach EOD-collected milk ?

摘要

Every other day collection of milk is splitting the dairy trade. Judie Allen reports on who's for and against the proposal. It seems a lift is emerging between Milk Marque (MM) and its buyers over every other day (EOD) collection. While MM is going all out to promote EOD collection by organising a series of farmer roadshows throughout January, it seems some of its main buyers, whose primary interests are in the liquid market, have grave reservations about milk which is not being picked up on a dailybasis. MM, however, is offering daily-collected milk at a price premium of 0.2ppl. While this is less than 1% more than the standard price for EOD collection milk, most buyers have opted not pay the extra.
