Forum seeks to sustain liquid milk viability

The first ever IFA Liquid Milk Forum takes place tomorrow in Dublin.

The by-invitation-only event will challenge retailers, dairies, industry organisations, government officials and politicians to help sketch a pathway to sustain viable locally produced, high quality fresh milk for Irish consumers.

IFA National Liquid Milk Committee Chairman Teddy Cashman said: “Few may realise that, despite the great enthusiasm there is in the export oriented dairy sector for the post-quota era, the specialist year-round producers who produce fresh milk for Irish consumers are genuinely concerned about their future viability”.
