# Bega Group seeks milk boost as exports grow and Qld runs short | Farm Online | ACT

> Australian dairy company Bega Group says it needs about 30% more milk in North Queensland, plus extra volume for its Victorian and New South Wales plants, to meet growing export and domestic demand. Its milk intake grew 7% in 2025-26 even though supplier numbers rose only 1%, and Australian dairy farm numbers have fallen to about 3,600.

## Why it matters

Tight regional milk supply and rising processor demand can push up Australian farm-gate milk prices, though the effect on global feed commodity prices is limited.
