A dairy organisation
led by farmers.

Dairy in WA
Western Dairy is supported by approximately 49,000 cows, which collectively produce 344 million litres of milk annually. This substantial milk production is a testament to the efficiency and scale of the local dairy operations.
Beyond its agricultural output, the dairy sector plays a significant role in food security. It contributes over $245 million to the state’s economy and provides employment opportunities for well over 1000 people
Who we work with
