Who We Are
The United Dairyfarmers of Victoria (UDV) is the collective voice of Victorian dairy farmers, representing its members to all levels of government.
As a commodity group of the Victorian Farmers Federation, the UDV also provides representation on a broad range of agricultural issues affecting all farmers, not just those specific to dairy.
What We Do
The United Dairyfarmers of Victoria has a policy packed agenda, including extensive work on on-farm energy, processor contracts and relations, milk price structures and much more to add value to your business.
You can discuss UDV policy work with your local representative, or one of our friendly staff.
Livestock Underpasses
The VFF is a long-term supporter of the installation of livestock underpasses to improve safety of rural roads for the motoring public, livestock, farming families and their employees who regularly take stock across arterials.
VFF has arranged for Vic Roads to publish pre-approved plans that farmers can use to make the installation of livestock underpasses a bit easier.
Victoria’s Dairy Industry
Dairy is Victoria’s largest agricultural industry, with a gross value of $2.6 billion it is the powerhouse of Australia’s dairy farm, manufacturing and export industry.
With over 3,000 dairy farms our state produces more than 5.5 billion litres of milk a year and provides work for 14,800 Victorians on farms and another 11,000 in milk processing factories.
Victoria is export-oriented, accounting for 62% of Australia’s dairy exports. In a typical year billions of dollars’ worth of dairy products passes through the Port of Melbourne, where dairy is one of the largest container exporters.
