Tasmanian Dairy Industry

The Tasmanian dairy industry produced 662 million litres of milk off approximately 460 dairy farms in 2007/08. This current season (2008/09) it is expected that milk production should rise 6% to 700 million litres. The average herd size is over 300 cows. Despite recent challenging seasonal conditions milk production continues to grow.

The Tasmanian industry is looking to grow with a target of 750 million litres by 2010. There is scope for investment in current dairy farms and for new dairy farm conversions.
