BHB has been undertaking research into this opportunities presented to our region for the production of nutritional powders based on goat and/or sheep milk.

 

The product(s): Infant Formula Toddler Formula Whole Milk Powder (goat/sheep) Nutritional Supplements Pet Nutrition Many more……

These are value-added products not subject to the volatility of cow milk powder prices.  The demand (globally) outstrips the supply and prices for goat and sheep milk solids reflect that.

The market: Increasing global demand – particularly in China and Developing Countries.  Infant Formula (cow, sheep and goat) is a $50BN USD Market – and growing.

 

The supply chain includes:

Goat and/or sheep dairy farming Cropping Fertilisers Goat / Sheep Breeding Dairy Machinery Housing Barns Vehicles for Cut & Carry Vet Services & Animal Welfare Genetic Services
	Nutrition Supplements Insurance & Finance Spray drying Nutritional formulas Blending Canning Packaging Marketing Sales Logistics By-products Much more…

Hawke's Bay has the potential to deliver all parts of this supply/value chain.
