GIVING THE DAIRY SECTOR THE FINANCIAL SECURITY TO INVEST IN GOING GREEN

There are three pillars to sustainability:

Concept Dairy™️ is focused on creating economic sustainability across the dairy supply chain for the benefit of the entire supply chain:

Farmers need to be supported to be financially stable. If we don’t have farmers, we don’t have food.

Processors need the tools and systems to be able to manage price risk to create more sustainable supply chains.

Buyers need security of product supply, which means having transparent and resilient supply chains that support farmers and growers to produce food profitably.

ACHIEVING NET ZERO EMISSIONS

Replacing financial insecurity with price stability has multiple long-term benefits:

Farming with nature, not against it

If you are able to farm in the knowledge that you can achieve the right price for your milk and your particular circumstances, some of the financial pressure of farming can be eased. Instead of always having to focus on increasing volumes to boost value, you can farm with the confidence that you can achieve the prices you need to be sustainable, without compromising your animals and land.

Economic security for rural communities

Locking-in your future milk price at a price that you are comfortable with provides greater certainty for budgeting. You know that overheads are covered creating capacity for investment, growth opportunities or employing staff, boosting the local rural economy.

Renewed focus on biodiversity

Nature is at the heart of every farm. With greater focus on biodiversity we develop healthier land, and as a result, better quality milk and dairy. We understand how difficult it is to focus on biodiversity and sustainability initiatives when a basic fundamental – the price you’ll get for your milk – is a constant unknown. By changing this, and giving your control of your milk price, we help create the capacity needed to develop welfare initiatives.

Improved animal welfare

Good animal welfare is an integral part of farming, but when times are tight, tough decisions have to be made. No one wants to face a choice between vaccinating your herd or feeding your family…. We don’t want you to have to make compromises. Concept Dairy aims to give you a level of price certainty so that you can continue to maintain your herds, uncompromised.

Greater food security

It is essential that we all have access to the necessary amount of nutrients to lead a healthy life. Effective food security means having adequate availability, access, utilisation and stability in food sources. As a nutritional product and major export, dairy plays a vital role in food security. Concept Dairy’s aim is to create and facilitate a greater level of transparency across the dairy industry to ensure greater efficiency and security in the dairy food supply chain.
