The NSW Government has today followed through on one of its key election promises, appointing the State\u2019s very first Fresh Milk and Dairy Advocate.
\nMinister for Agriculture Adam Marshall today announced Ian Zandstra would serve as NSW Fresh Milk and Dairy Advocate. Mr Marshall said the Advocate would play a key role in helping to grow a stronger, more profitable dairy industry in NSW.
\n\u201cI\u2019m absolutely delighted to announce Ian Zandstra will serve as our State\u2019s first Fresh Milk and Dairy Advocate,\u201d Mr Marshall said.
\n\u201cIan has a wealth of experience and is highly regarded across industry so is in a wonderful position to hit the ground running in this important role.
\n\u201cThe Advocate will champion dairy in NSW by providing advice to both government and industry on how we can better support our producers and create more value across the entire supply chain.
\n\u201cThere\u2019s no doubt the NSW dairy industry has faced some serious challenges in recent years but I\u2019m confident this role will provide the support our producers need and help ensure NSW remains a fresh milk State.\u201d
\nMr Zanstra said: \u201cI\u2019m absolutely honoured to be appointed to this role and look forward to working with industry and government to build a stronger dairy supply chain in NSW.
\n\u201cMy first priority is to establish an industry Advisory Panel, which will play a key role in identifying immediate and necessary actions for the sector and shaping advice to the Government.\u201d
\nParliamentary Secretary for Agriculture Michael Johnsen said he looked forward to working with Mr Zanstra to build a stronger, more resilient dairy industry.
\n\u201cMr Zandstra is a champion of industry and his appointment will come as great news to dairy producers across NSW,\u201d Mr Johnsen said.
\nAppointing a Dairy Advocate was a key election promise by the NSW Liberals & Nationals. The Advocate will help provide a united voice for industry, deliver clear advice to Government and help drive profitability across the industry supply chain. They will also assist in the delivery of a Dairy Action Plan and a \u2018buy local fresh milk\u2019 campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
