ADF welcomes new federal grant for supply chain reform

Australian Dairy Farmers (ADF) has secured a federal grant of $814,000 to improve price transparency, product traceability and efficiency across the dairy supply chain.

With the grant, ADF will produce a framework for the dairy industry that lays out what technology and systems need to be deployed to track and trace produce and price through the supply chain.

“We thank the Federal Government for this grant. It’s an opportunity to not just improve traceability, but also build transparency and trust within the dairy industry,” says ADF CEO David Inall. “This is a significant industry reform initiative. It ensures that a reform of the supply chain will continue under the leadership of ADF.

“As part of the project, we will be conducting an audit of existing traceability systems and processes, as well as mapping the critical price and financial transactions as product moves through the supply chain. This will help us identify the gaps and barriers in the industry’s current traceability practices based on the Australian Dairy Traceability Guideline released in September 2021.

“We’ll then use this information to develop a technology and systems roadmap to indicate the most efficient and integrated approach to track and trace product and price through the supply chain. This positions us to deploy real time price and product monitoring tools and capture data more effectively.

“The guidelines set out a common language for traceability. Now we’re using that language to determine which technology and systems will lead to more effective and transparent tracking across the supply chain.”

The grant is part of the Australian Government’s Improving Market Transparency in Perishable Agricultural Goods Industries Program that aims to tackle bargaining power imbalances in these industries by improving market and price transparency. This project has been developed in collaboration with the Australian Dairy Products Federation and Dairy Australia.

The grant program is a response to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s (ACCC) inquiry into Perishable Agricultural Goods. This identified a range of harmful practices associated with bargaining power imbalances and market failures with seven categories of misconduct reported mainly relating to supermarket behaviour. To help resolve these problems the ACCC recommended amendments to the Competition and Consumer Act, making the Food and Grocery Code mandatory and supporting industry initiatives to increase price transparency across the supply chain.

“This new project will make product traceability and price transparency real and efficient. This is not only delivers on one of the ACCC’s recommendations it will benefit all stakeholders in the dairy supply chain,” says Mr Inall.

“Securing these grants are further steps towards delivering on the Australian Dairy Plan’s commitment to restore trust and transparency across the dairy supply chain.”

A vote by dairy farmers in Dairy Poll 2022 to not change how much they invest in RD&E has been noted by Australian Dairy Farmers (ADF), the national policy and advocacy organisation for dairy farmers.

“With almost two-thirds of votes (64%) cast for “no change” the result demonstrates considerable support for the dairy services levy to remain at the current level,” ADF President Rick Gladigau says.

“We recognise that there is a wide range of views about the levy around the country, and ADF respected these views when forming its view that dairy farmers should vote their own way in Dairy Poll 2022.

“ADF wishes to thank all dairy farmers who voted in Dairy Poll 2022. As we said previously, it was important that levy payers took this opportunity to have their say about funding for Dairy Australia’s research and innovation programs.”

Mr Gladigau says the poll result is not the end of the levy process. He says the Federal Agriculture Minister must now consider the poll result before deciding on the levy amount. ADF looks forward to this decision.

“As we committed throughout the process, ADF will continue to work with Dairy Australia on the development of operational plans for the organisation, now within clear guidance as to future levy income,” says Mr Gladigau.

The results of Dairy Poll 2022 can be found at dairypoll.com.au.

A commitment from the Federal Opposition in the Budget reply to set minimum standards for nutrition in aged care is great news for the dairy industry and warrants bi-partisan support, Australian Dairy Farmers (ADF) has announced today.

An improvement in nutritional health in Australia, especially in residential aged care, and abroad, is a policy priority for ADF – the national policy and advocacy organisation representing dairy farmers – ahead of the federal election. It is one of three guiding objectives in the ADF’s 2022 Federal Election Policy Statement.

“We’ve been calling on politicians to consider how they can help resolve malnutrition in residential aged care by prescribing minimum nutritional standards for food in aged care,” ADF president Rick Gladigau says.

“Research shows that when aged care residents increase their daily intake of dairy foods from two to 3.5 serves per day the incidence of fractures and falls declines. Fractures are reduced by one-third.”

Although ADF welcomes the commitment to nutrition in residential aged care from the Opposition, it notes the Budget reply was silent on agriculture, including biosecurity, and the value of farming to the nation.

“The Budget reply did not demonstrate the importance of agriculture to Australia’s economy. It overlooked that revenue derived by agriculture is shared across the economy and by all Australians,” Mr Gladigau says.

“By contrast, the Budget from the Government, recognises that farming feeds and clothes Australians.” Importantly, it contained spending on initiatives that address two of ADF’s other policy objectives – more investment in regional development and more funding for innovation to increase sustainability and productivity.

“Policies which drive nutritional health, regional jobs and on-farm productivity and sustainability support dairy’s economic recovery and set the foundations for agriculture to grow to $100 billion by 2030,” Mr Gladigau says.

A stronger than expected economic recovery – driven by growth in the mining and agricultural sectors – has resulted in a 2022 Federal Budget providing cost-of-living assistance and further support for Australia’s fiscal bounce-back from the COVID-19 pandemic.

“This budget once again demonstrates the importance of the agricultural industry to Australia’s economy. Revenue derived from agriculture and mining is being distributed across the economy to help the hip pocket of all Australians,” said Australian Dairy Farmers president Rick Gladigau.

“Dairy farmers will be pleased to see initiatives addressing the increasing cost of farming, including flood recovery and further support to grow our regions. However, in reality the extent of expenditure for primary industries is small relative to economic contribution.”

Key budget announcements that support the dairy sector include:

• The fuel excise and excise-equivalent customs duty rate that applies to petrol and diesel will be halved for 6 months, which will create savings for every dairy business as of today.
• Over $2 billion in support measures for flood affected primary producers, small businesses, not-for-profit organisations and councils will help the 190 dairy farms that have been negatively impacted by the NSW and QLD floods.
• $6.9 billion investment in nationally significant, transformational water infrastructure projects to assist in developing regional communities and an additional $137.4 million towards infrastructure and compliance initiatives for the Murray-Darling Basin, which will address water security, a high priority for dairy farmers.
• $2 billion to establish the Regional Accelerator Program (RAP) to drive transformative economic growth and productivity in regional areas, potentially supporting some of Australia’s dairy industry’s regions to enhance their supply chain competitiveness.
• Over $1.2 billion to expand mobile coverage, connectivity, resilience and affordability in regional Australia which will assist in stimulating adoption of digital technologies.
• $250 million to extend the Modern Manufacturing Initiative to support businesses in priority sectors – including agriculture – to deliver high impact projects such as domestic manufacture of fertiliser and other inputs.
• $148.6 million to support more investment in affordable and reliable power, including the development of community microgrid projects in regional and rural Australia such as replication of the Nowra bio-digestor plant in other dairy regions.

“Some of these and other initiatives in the Budget support delivery of the ADF’s Federal Election policy statement,” Mr Gladigau said.

“In particular, the investment in R&D is welcome. Concessional tax treatment for corporate taxpayers who commercialise their eligible patents linked to agvet chemical products, and $505.2 million to support university research projects from proof of concept to commercialisation will in time bring benefit to the farm gate.”

However, the areas of regional development, biosecurity and maintenance of a skilled workforce require more investment to reduce the risk to dairy production and capitalise on the opportunity before the sector.

“For example, dealing with the threat of lumpy skin disease far exceeds the $61.6 million over 4 years provided to address that and other biosecurity risks.”

Craig Hough, ADF Director, Policy and Strategy, also noted the inflationary risk that this budget presents.

“With the economy at near full employment and being one of the strongest economies in the OECD, some of the stimulus initiatives are difficult to justify. Most of the cost-of-living initiatives are temporary and targeted, and there is a commitment to reduce the budget deficit going forward, but there will need to be care that we don’t fuel inflation and undermine the very intent of the Budget itself,” Mr Hough said.

A breakthrough in milk price transparency and buyer competition was made today, according to Australian Dairy Farmers (ADF), when the Australian Milk Price Initiative (AMPI) ran its first regional milk spot markets.

The market was launched today on the Mercari platform, which is owned and operated by Mercari Pty Ltd. Various bids across the three regions of Victoria were made with prices exceeding $9.00kg/ms for the spot market. Individual months in the new season traded above $8.00kg/ms. “These are very positive signs,” ADF president Rick Gladigau says.

Regional spot markets deliver the monthly price transparency necessary to enable a forward hedging market like those seen in New Zealand, the US and Europe. Such markets enable dairy farmers and processors to lock in prices up to three years forward for some of their milk.

“There is no more transparent price signal than an open market price,” says Mr Gladigau. “AMPI will improve risk management across the supply chain with back-to-back pricing from customer to processor to farmer, providing the ability to lock in margins across the chain. Better margin and risk management enables better planning, which, in turn, drives investment and growth across the supply chain. More investment in the supply chain means a strong dairy industry.”

In 2019 the Morrison Government provided ADF with an election pledge of $560,000 towards the development of a milk trading platform. This initiative was key to the Australian Dairy Plan’s commitment to deliver new measures to increase transparency and help manage market risk, including the establishment of a functioning milk price market.

“While the launch of the AMPI is an important step, the work is not over yet,” says Mr Gladigau. “Effort is required in the future to ensure appropriate governance and operations and there is a well-designed education or extension program delivered to farmers and processors on how to participate in this or other trading initiatives and how this makes a difference to their risk management and bottom line. Ongoing investment and innovation are key to the future of the dairy industry. With an open market where farmers can choose who they sell their milk to, at what price, and on what terms the future is looking brighter.”

The dairy market will be available 2.00-2.30pm AEST on two Thursdays of each month. Information and access to the market can be found at: https://riemann.com.au/products/.

Mercari provides trading venues for both non-financial and financial products and is also the holder of a Tier 1 Australian Market Licence pursuant to s795B of the Corporations Act.

AUSTRALIAN Dairy Farmers (ADF) urges all levy payers to vote in Dairy Poll 2022 as this is an opportunity too good to miss, ADF president Rick Gladigau has announced today.

An election platform which seeks political party support for policies driving nutritional health, regional jobs and on-farm sustainability and productivity was launched by Australian Dairy Farmers (ADF) today.

Says ADF president Rick Gladigau: “This upcoming election provides a great opportunity for the Australian dairy industry. We need policy settings that support our industry’s economic recovery.”

“The dairy sector can play a key role in supporting the Australian Government’s COVID-19 recovery and regionalisation agendas, and its pledge to set the foundations for the agriculture sector to grow to $100 billion by 2030.”

“The federal election provides a defining moment in the Australian dairy industry’s ability to achieve our sustainability targets.”

The ADF 2022 Federal Election Policy Statement outlines the national policy and advocacy organisation’s key priorities ahead of the Australian federal election that must be held before the end of May.

“These priorities will support the dairy industry in the short and long term”, says Mr Gladigau.

The statement was finalised following consultation with ADF members and stakeholders.

The ADF 2022 Federal Election Policy Statement will steer ADF’s advocacy throughout the election. It includes three guiding objectives:

• Improve nutritional health in Australia and abroad
• Grow jobs and liveability in the regions with planning and investment
• Increase sustainability and productivity through innovation and markets

Under these three objectives there are 14 strategies and 38 actions for political parties to adopt as part of their election policies.

ADF CEO David Inall says the focus for ADF early in the New Year will be to meet with key representatives of all the major political parties and brief them on this election policy platform.

“Next year’s federal election provides for a timely opportunity for Australia’s dairy farmers to engage in this important political process and discuss those issues that matter to their future success,” says Mr Inall.

Craig Hough, ADF’s Director, Policy and Strategy, says that despite dairy foods’ nutritional value – including essential vitamins and minerals like calcium – many people in Australia and overseas are not consuming their recommended amounts.

“ADF is calling on politicians to address misleading product labelling and marketing, including from plant-based alternatives to dairy, as well as trade barriers and supply chain constraints,” Mr Hough says.

“The Federal Government has enormous power to help resolve malnutrition and health ailments in residential aged care by increasing dairy consumption for residents. This responds to recent research by University of Melbourne and findings of the Royal Commission into Aged Care.”

To grow jobs and liveability in regional areas, the ADF is asking for $300 million in funding for the National Agriculture Workforce Strategy and for government to make the National Farmers Federation lead the evaluation of the Agriculture Visa pilot and completion of its design.

Says Mr Gladigau: “The Australian dairy industry has a great story to tell in terms of improving the way it cares for people, animals and the planet, while continuing to improve farm productivity and profitability.

“Take for example the Australian Dairy Industry Sustainability Framework, which has been in place for almost a decade. This is a great basis for governments to co-invest with industry and accelerate technology and other pathways to help dairy farmers in their role as environmental stewards.”

Other environmental strategies in the policy platform include investing in the recommendations of the Dairy Industry Adaptation Pathways and Northeast Dairy Climate Futures projects; implementing the recommendations of the Productivity Commission’s evaluation of the Murray-Darling Basin Plan; and providing a second round of the Energy Efficient Communities Program – Dairy Farming Grants.

“Essentially, we’re seeking government policy and support to secure the recovery of our industry and economy by making our people and planet healthier,” Mr Gladigau says.

A move by supermarket retailer Woolworths to raise the price of home brand milk has been welcomed by new Australian Dairy Farmers (ADF) President Rick Gladigau.

“Despite the end of one dollar a litre milk two years ago, home brand milk has remained a laggard in the dairy case, so this increase, if shared back through the value chain, will be welcomed by dairy farmers,” says Mr Gladigau.

“The ball is now in Coles and Aldi’s court to play catch-up.”

From 25 November 2021 Woolworths milk will sell for the following prices:

• 1L Woolworths branded milk – $1.35
• 2L Woolworths branded milk – $2.60
• 3L Woolworths branded milk – $3.90

After a dairy market downturn lasting several years, the average milk price paid to Australian farmers has increased 13% between 2018 ($6.14/kgMS) and 2021 ($6.91/kgMS), according to Dairy Australia.

“However, prices for farm inputs, such as fertiliser, water, fuel and energy, and a tight labour market, have increased costs in the same period, so any increase in profits passed back to dairy farmers is welcome,” says Mr Gladigau.

“Increases in milk prices at the farmgate and in-store are needed to sustain production of an essential food.”

Dairy businesses can now sponsor migrant staff across a broader range of roles and skills, following advocacy by Australian Dairy Farmers (ADF) for government action to address the workforce shortage in the sector.

The Commonwealth Government has made changes to the Dairy Industry Labour Agreement (DILA). These changes enable dairy farmers to now employ skilled overseas workers on a visa in two roles:

1. Dairy Cattle Farm Operator (new)
2. Senior Dairy Cattle Farm Worker.

The changes also cover:

• Work experience – reduced levels of work experience are now required to satisfy the relevant visa criterion
• English language – the requirement has been reduced to International English Language Testing System (IELTS) grade 5 with no minimum score for certain visas.
• Age Limits – the age limit for visa holders has been increased from 45 to 55 years
• Labour market testing – now only two attempts are required over a 12-month period, and
• Salary concessions.

The changes take effect immediately and apply nationally.

The changes to DILA have been made by the Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs, Alex Hawke, in response to submissions from ADF and Dairy Australia.

“We thank Minister Hawke for these reforms, which will help to ensure that rural migration policy better reflects the workforce needs of the Australian dairy industry,” ADF CEO David Inall says.

“The skilled worker shortage is the number one concern for dairy farms currently. While development of the domestic workforce is a key focus for industry, immigration will remain an important pathway for some businesses.”

ADF’s work with the government to address the labour challenge also includes:

• A request that visas for artificial insemination technicians be prioritised
• Feedback on the Fair Work Amendment (Supporting Australia’s Jobs and Economic Recovery) Bill 2021, which addresses issues in the industrial relations system that hinder employment generation (the Bill received royal assent in late March 2021)
• Input into the new agriculture visa that supports greater access to international labour.

The worker shortage is limiting growth in the dairy sector (farm businesses need approx.1 FTE per 100 cows). It is estimated that more than 50% of dairy farm businesses in Australia will need to recruit annually in coming years, and that those that recruit will be seeking on average around three employees.

For more details on the new DILA settings, visit Dairy Australia’s The People in Dairy web page, see the dairy industry agreement on the Department of Home Affairs web site or the fact sheet.

The use of technology to give dairy farmers a clearer view of transactions in the value chain got a boost today with the launch of a guide for traceability in the supply chain.

Today, during the eighth meeting of the National GS1 Traceability Advisory Group (NGTAG), Australian Government Senator Susan McDonald officially released the Australian Dairy Traceability Guideline.

GS1 Australia and Australian Dairy Farmers (ADF) welcome the announcement, signalling the second output of the Australian Government grant for the implementation of ADF’s Blockchain and Traceability Framework.

“Improving the transparency of information flow through our supply chain is critical to address power imbalances, identified by the ACCC and the Senate’s Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport References Committee, of which the Senator is Deputy Chair, in their dairy inquiries,” says ADF president Terry Richardson.

“Trust is the foundation on which supply chain participants – from farm to shopping basket – rely. Traceability underpins trust. It enables us to provide assurances about what we produce, process, and sell.

“This is what makes today’s launch so important to dairy farmers, and the industry as a whole.”

The traceability standards in the guideline provide a common approach for the Australian dairy industry to identify and track product as it moves through the supply chain, capturing and sharing information of relevance to producers, transporters, manufacturers, retailers, exporters and government.

“Openly sharing information also helps industry to protect our clean, green and safe food image, and, importantly, reduce our costs to compete more aggressively in local and global markets,” says Mr Richardson. “Without open, transparent and secure information systems in our value chain Australia’s dairy farmers, processors and exporters will be competing on world markets with one arm behind their back.”

Mr Richardson says the common language for traceability in the guideline will improve communication across industry. “It puts everyone on the same page and in doing so it increases efficiency across the value chain. It will help everyone in the sector implement traceability and improve safety and market access,” he says.

The traceability guideline has been developed based on specialist technical advice from GS1 Australia, as well as a series of industry supply chain workshops and validation with a global food company.

Says Maria Palazzolo, CEO at GS1 Australia: “I commend the Australian Government for their assistance, support, capacity building and the innovation they are fostering within Australian agricultural supply chains and particularly the support for our primary producers.

“This is a great example of Federal Government alignment as these guidelines complement the National Freight Data Hub led by the Department of Infrastructure, given both initiatives are based on the same underlying global data standards for supply chains. The guidelines also support federal government initiatives to simplify trade systems via export regulatory reform and a more automated exchange of trade documents.”

About the ACCC’s Dairy inquiry

In 2018 the Australian Competition and Consumer Council (ACCC) found there was a power imbalance between farmers and processors. This power imbalance, together with uncertain world market prices, supermarket milk discounting and falling processor margins impacted negatively on farmgate milk prices. To address power imbalance, ensure viability and meet industry sustainability challenges, a national industry reform program includes measures explicitly addressing how information is captured, shared and used across the dairy supply chain. ADF’s Blockchain and Traceability Framework is one of these measures.
