DairyNZ: Dairy Sector Must Push Beyond Productivity Plateau
The dairy industry cannot rest on its laurels despite providing one in every four export dollars earned by the country, says DairyNZ chief executive Campbell Parker.
Dairy farmers can now connect their Farm Focus account directly with DairyBase, which simplifies data sharing, reduces admin time, and ensures their information contributes to industry-leading benchmarking.
“We know that data duplication can be frustrating for farmers, so this partnership is about making life easier and enables smarter and more timely decisions to be made,” says DairyNZ head of economics, Mark Storey.
“Farmers have also told us they want benchmarking to reflect what’s happening now - not what was happening 12 months ago. This is the first step in that journey, as we work on greater partnerships with other key sector organisations.”
