A new research project to improve the understanding of dairy farm productivity and its relationship to profitability has been undertaken by Dairy Australia.
Gavin Dwyer of Marsden Jacobs Associates was commissioned to explore recent and long-term trends in the dairy industry to better understand research and development opportunities and find ways to improve farm performance across Australia.
Drawing on detailed Dairy Farm Monitor Project data, as well as data from Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) and the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES) the project investigates farm performance in finer detail, aiming to better understand industry drivers of farm productivity.
