Brownes Dairy has moved back into the local cheddar cheese market, launching a WA-made range in an effort to appeal to consumers on this side of the Nullarbor.
Brownes Dairy is chasing extra supplies for its expanded cheese factory in the state's South West and is believed to have approached the Lactanz cooperative and two farmers who were told last year their milk wasn't needed.
Australian businesses can be confident that strong personal relationships with their partners in China can help overcome any short-term problems between the governments of the two countries, according to two local business executives with close ties to the Asian powerhouse.
Western Australia's three largest dairy producers are now under foreign ownership, after Brownes was sold to a consortium of investors that includes Chinese dairy operator Shanghai Ground Food.
