The milk powder contaminations in China, which killed four babies, and caused tens of thousands of children to become sick, has boosted export demand for Australian dairy products.The Murray Goulburn Dairy Co-operative is reporting a 20 to 30 per cent increase in inquiries from Asian markets.Most Murray Goulburn products are produced in Victoria, but the processor plays an important role in setting the price Australian dairy farmers get paid for their milk. General Manager of International Sales for Murray Goulburn, Mal Beniston, says the contamination has caused consumers to think twice about Chinese milk products."So my guess is yes, there'll be a short-term increase in demand for products particularly from Australia, New Zealand and Europe. But ultimately there's a lot of milk in China which I'm sure will get right eventually."
In this report: Mal Beniston, general manager of international sales, Murray Goulburn.
