Allocation of Additional Milk Quota to Organic Milk Producers
News | 15 Aug 2008
Mr Trevor Sargent TD, Minister for Food and Horticulture, recently announced a new scheme for the Allocation of Additional Milk Quota to Organic Milk Producers.
Under the new scheme, organic milk producers will be able to apply to the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food for up to 45,000 litres of additional quota from the National Reserve, which could potentially release about 750,000 litres of quota to organic producers in the current milk quota year.
The Minister indicated that a strong market already exists and continues to grow both at home and abroad for Irish organic dairy products. However, the basic raw material - organic milk - is in scare supply in Ireland and the Minister said that the provision of additional quota will allow existing producers to expand and should also encourage new entrants into the organic dairy sector.
Application forms for the new Scheme are available at:
http://www.agriculture.gov.ie/index.jsp?file=schemes/milkquotatrading/milkquotatrading.xml on the Department’s website or from the Milk Policy Division and he invited organic milk producers to apply at the earliest opportunity.
