Development of Sheep Sector: Discussion

Mr. Brendan Crosse:

The co-operative movement has really delivered for the dairy sector and there is no doubt it could play a role in the sheep milk industry. We are working with a dairy co-operative, using its processing capabilities, export and food safety expertise and all the investment and intellectual property, IP, that is there. We are engaging with it to build this industry.

It is part of our thinking but, at this stage, we are just building our supply chain and delivering products to market. All of that structure needs to be in place and all of that work needs to be done.
