"However, the pathway is much clearer and the profitability potential in sheep milk farming has made people be more proactive."

There is a "significant opportunity" for the Irish sheep sector to begin sheep milk production at scale.

Sheep Milk Ireland director Brendan Crosse has said that the suppliers of sheep milk products currently face "fundamental supply challenges".
