They are also custodians of millions of acres of pasture land and nearly 1.9 million dairy cows. With generations of dairying know-how behind them, they are highly competitive and growing export opportunities.
Dairy UK is a processor-led organisation, so you won’t find a lot of information about dairy farming on our site. Other groups like the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board and the regional Farming Unions speak on farming issues and can help you if you want to know about issues like animal welfare, farming systems or other farming related issues.
However, Dairy UK has strong connections with the farming side of the dairy sector. This is through the work of the Dairy UK Farmers’ Forum and our relationships with the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board, the Royal Association of British Dairy Farmers, the National Farmers Union, the Ulster Farmers Union, the National Farmers Union of Scotland and the Farmers Union of Wales.
