ODH out

Written by  Milking It

OPINION: The future of Organic Dairy Hub, a small organic co-operative started by Waikato farmers, remains unclear, following well publicised financial difficulties.

Organic Dairy isn’t the first organic dairy co-op to collapse. An initially-promising organic outfit, started by Taranaki farmers many years ago, also went under.

With little in the way of assets – as Organic Dairy’s milk processing was done by third parties – it too could be liquidated and deregistered very soon.

And what of Organic Dairy suppliers? They have reportedly switched to supplying Fonterra.
