Bannister Downs Farm, located in western Australian, will be the first dairy farm in that country to export fresh milk to Asia. The farm milks 1,000 cows and is currently producing almost 3 million litres of milk annually.

Director Mat Daubney says 1,000 litres a week will be sent to Hong Kong initally, and the new biodegradable packaging will reduce costs in air freight.

“Basically they believe they can get our milk to Hong Kong in 24 hours and deliver it onto a shop shelf,” he says.
