In Usap Tayo, we discussed how Australia’s multi-billion-dollar dairy industry continues to anchor the agricultural economy while increasingly relying on the vital contributions of farm workers, including Filipino migrants.
Key Points
- The dairy sector is Australia's third-largest rural industry, generating billions in value and producing around 8.8 billion litres of milk annually.
- Approximately 30% of total milk production is converted into value-added products like cheese and butter for global export markets.
- Filipino migrant workers provide essential skilled labour on local farms, filling critical workforce shortages across major dairy regions.
