Milk Contract Trading
For full details of the policy and documents to be submitted please click on the link below. The policy / procedure is summarised as follows:
- The exiting supplier must be permanently ceasing milk supply and not transferring supply to another company / processor.
- To commence proceedings the exiting farmer must complete and submit a “Milkline listing form”. Details of the contract available will then be be listed on Milkline and a SMS sent to all suppliers in that same Region alerting them to the listing.
- Contracts of more than 200,000 litres per annum may be split and transferred to multiple acquiring farmers (minimum of 100,000 litres applies).
- Any suppliers interested in acquiring any of the litres should make direct contact with the exiting farmer to negotiate details. Once agreement is reached both parties should complete and submit the necessary forms to DFMC.
