ICOS warns of reduced milk supply as it objects to dairy exit scheme
In its formal submission to the Food Vision Dairy Group, ICOS has expressed its strong reservations to the introduction of a dairy exit scheme.
ICOS said it is warning the Government that the introduction of a dairy exit scheme could reduce milk supply and "have very serious economic implications" for processors.
The co-operative representative body has confirmed its opposition to such a scheme, saying that it "does not believe that the proposed scheme will contribute to a viable and sustainable dairy industry into the future".
