Milk breakthrough that can keep it fresh in the fridge for 60 days offers lifeline to dairy farmers - ABC Rural - ABC News (https://www.abc.net.au/news/rural/2019-05-01/fresh-milk-breakthrough-offers-60-day-fridge-shelf-life/11062284?utm_source=sfmc&utm_medium=email&utm_content=&utm_campaign=%5bnews_sfmc_rural_df_!n1%5d%3a8940&user_id=c17365ab07572ed90614d245ada5ad675f6bc00189 fa766123c70d76d1d7cddf&WT.tsrc=email&WT.mc_id=Email%7c%5bnews_sfmc_rural_df_!n1%5d%7c89 40RuralMail_ArticleLink)

Sounds great. I am a massive fan of milk. Still drink a couple of glasses a day so not likely it will need to wait in my fridge for 60 days though!

While it's sounds like a great technology, there is a major potential with this to destroy the local dairy industry too.
They talk about the potential good it will do for the milk export sector going from air freight to sea freight to reduce costs, but this could also be used to import cheaper milk from overseas too.
Whereas before such a tech would exist, it would have made it too expensive for 'cheap milk production countries' to compete locally, this tech may now make it more viable!

If it isn't new, why have they secured patents with World protection.? It is touted to be the most significant innovation since pasteurisation in 1864.The inventor , based at Coolum, on the Sunshine coast, is a qualified agricultural engineer with more than 30 years experience in global agribusiness. The process has been approved as a safe and healthy alternative to pasteurisation by an industry regulator, Dairy Food Safety Victoria .

Australia is only one of a handful of countries that produces more milk than can be consumed domestically. I think the danger is creating a situation such as our gas, whereby we export it cheaper than what we pay for it. That would force consumers to buy cheaper imported milk. However, the local dairy industry would be flat out keeping up with overseas demand. That would mean more imported milk , for local consumption. The industry would have to be regulated to make it provide a certain amount for local consumption, I suggest.
