In move designed to bolster the state's dairy sector, GRO Rural, in collaboration with the Department of Primary Industries (DPI) and Dairy NSW, has unveiled the GRO Rural Dairy Registry. This platform transcends the traditional directory model, serving as a specialised service that connects NSW dairy farmers with dairy providers based on relevant factors such as location, service, and experience. This initiative breathes new life into industry support while fostering a sense of community.

"Dairy farmers have often spoken of the difficulty of finding local service providers to support their businesses," he said.
