Ever wondered what you’re really getting for the DairyNZ levy you pay? In this episode of Talking Dairy, we unpack the findings of the most in-depth independent return on investment (ROI) ever – commissioned by DairyNZ to provide farmers with more transparency. 

Join host Jac McGowan as she talks with Dr Alan Pearson from Nimmo Bell, the independent analysts behind the report, and DairyNZ Chair Tracy Brown, who commissioned the work.

They explain:

  • How $341 million in levy revenue delivered an estimated $2.98 billion in value for farmers between 2020 and 2025.
  • Which initiatives delivered the biggest returns.
  • Why collective investment is critical to keep dairy competitive and ready for the future.
  • What DairyNZ is doing differently to ensure we’re focused on what matters to farmers.

If you’ve ever wondered “What do I get for my levy?”, this episode gives you the answer and the facts.
