The senate inquiry into the dairy industry is finally out

The senate inquiry report into the dairy industry has been released.

The recommendations seem to focus on the farming and processing levels and little mention is given to the distribution sector.

New Zealand has managed to double the volume produced its industry since 2002 and Australia has shrunk its industry by approximately 25% Policy issues abound here.

Collective bargaining has been mentioned. It will be interesting to see how that develops.

I will read this in depth and comment later.

The report is titled.
