NZs Dairy Sheep Sector Yet to Tap Full Potential

Apr 08, 2025

Spring Sheep Milk Co chief executive Nick Hammond highlights the surprising reality that New Zealand has only tens of thousands of dairy sheep, despite being a global dairy powerhouse. Hammond points out that New Zealand has world-class dairy infrastructure, excellent genetics, and strong farming expertise, making it well-positioned to lead in the sheep milk industry. However, the country’s dairy sheep population remains limited, creating a disconnect between its agricultural potential and current output. Hammond suggests that with rising demand for alternative dairy products and New Zealand’s well-established international trade relationships, there’s a major opportunity to scale up this niche sector. He envisions significant growth if industry players can collaborate and invest in expanding the sheep milk supply chain.
