Opening the annual Dairy Event at Stoneleigh, Warks, Mr Brigstocke said that the fact remains that there is still no national plan in place to guide the industry forward.
“In the view of the RABDF, until there is a clear strategy set out, things will not improve,” he said.
Mr Brigstocke said that there was a need for a truly active National Dairy Body made up of all sides to develop industry wide tactical and strategic plans.
He went on to add that “We had great hopes of Dairy UK, which has a strap line of the united voice of the dairy sector, would develop into such a body, but to date we see no evidence of it taking up the mantle.”
