How do they affect operations?
As production across the industry dips and farmers struggle with a lack of confidence, many have chosen to walk away from dairy farming altogether.
These factors have led to the biggest players getting bigger – and attracting overseas investment – while smaller operations bear the brunt and suffer further disparity in bargaining power.
Since deregulation in the year 2000, productivity in the dairy sector has reduced market investment, while protections for farmers were removed, leading to today’s volatility.
Controlling fluctuations in production inputs and managing nutrition are ways in which AFSystems can help.
