SYDNEY - Bushfires across Australia’s east coast are set to pile on more pain for the country’s dairy industry, already hurt by a prolonged drought, as processors in one of the world’s largest exporters face tightening milk supplies.
The fires have swept through major dairy areas along the New South Wales south coast, where many producers have faced a three-year drought, and East Gippsland in Victoria. Bushfire-affected regions account for about a third of the country’s milk output, data from industry group Dairy Australia shows.
Australia is the world’s seventh-largest dairy exporter, supplying mainly Asian markets with products such as fresh milk, butter and cheese, as well as milk powder. Dairy is the country’s fourth-biggest rural industry, worth A$3.3 billion , according to government figures. Many farmers are now struggling to secure feed for their cattle, which could affect both milk production and breeding.
