ACCC Dairy Inquiry farmer consultation forums

Overview

The ACCC is inviting dairy farmers to participate in a series of public forums as part of the ACCC’s Dairy Inquiry.

The purpose of the forums is to hear directly from dairy farmers about competition and fair trading issues that affect them.

The Dairy Inquiry commenced in November 2016 and is examining competition between milk processors, contracting and pricing practices, retail pricing, and transparency.

Attendees will have the opportunity to discuss issues directly with ACCC Commissioners.
