Milk quota for new dairy entrants to continue in 2013
It is based on 0.25% of the additional annual 1% allocation of quota since November 2008 by the EU, over the 2009 to 2013 period.
“Following detailed consideration with stakeholders, including industry representatives, on how best to utilise annual 1% allocation, it was decided that one quarter of the increase should be set aside for a major initiative aimed at attracting new entrants into milk production,” said the minister.
