Trade Relationships
Dairy Australia builds lasting relationships with international partners, which supports Australia’s high-quality dairy being consumed by more worldwide. For over 20 years, our scholarship program allows relationships between Australia’s dairy industry and international partners to form and grow.
The scholarship experience
Each year we invite contacts from China, Japan and South East Asia 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.
At the end of the Dairy Australia Scholarship, delegates are welcomed into our alumni group. There are currently over 850 alumni who are now influential dairy industry representatives in their respective markets. We offer alumni tailored insights and learning opportunities, as well as social and networking opportunities each year.
