Trade Relationships

Building lasting relationships with international partners is essential to Australia’s high-quality dairy finding its way into the hearts of more people.

For more than 20 years, Dairy Australia has run a scholarship program that has allowed new relationships between Australia’s dairy industry and international partners to form and grow.

Each year we invite contacts from China, Japan, South East Asia and South Korea to take part in the Dairy Australia Scholarship Program. Scholarship participants learn about Australian dairy farming practices, manufacturing and more. Of course, they even get to try the delicious dairy foods and beverages on offer.

Discover the Dairy Australia Scholarship experience

The Dairy Australia Scholarship ranges between classroom-style lectures, practical workshops and visits to farm and processing facilities. Highlights include:

Visiting farms to learn about dairying systems, landscapes and farm innovation.
Visiting factories to see first-rate manufacturing systems and testing facilities.
Learning dairy food safety standards and regulations.
Hearing from local dairy processors and fostering commercial relationships.
Learning how to make cheese first-hand and tasting it too.
