The Scottish Dairy Hub and Kite Consulting are running their popular question and answer seminar at AgriScot, Ingliston, Edinburgh on 16th November 2022.
After a year’s absence, Becki Leach, Senior Consultant at Kite will be co-chairing this year’s debate with Stuart Martin, Manager of the Scottish Dairy Hub.
The Scottish Dairy Hub and Kite will deliver an expert panel to discuss the issues of the day. Both organisations have joined forces again to put on a single event which will ensure key speakers will give an insight to the short and long-term outlook, opportunities, and challenges for Scottish dairy farmers. As in previous years, there will be an opportunity for dairy farmers and stakeholders to bring along their probing questions for the panel and listen to the latest market intel.
This year’s panel includes George Burgess Director of Agriculture & Rural Economy at Scottish Government, Paul Savage UK Agricultural Director at Arla Foods. Sarah Simpson, Farm Director & Agri-Policy Specialist, and journalist and market analyst Chris Walkland. The panel has a wealth of experience on dairy issues at domestic, national, and international levels. Their knowledge and experience surrounding issues on Scottish Agriculture, Climate Change, Market Forces, and Dairy Supply Chains will ensure an insightful debate and make this a must attend event
Stuart Martin, who manages the Scottish Dairy Hub, explained why it was important to feature such a high-profile panel.
The Scottish Dairy Hub’s key role is to answer the questions of dairy farmers and we want to give them an opportunity to ask questions directly to industry figures they may hear about but may not have a direct line for. Collaborating again with Kite will ensure a highly informative event for all that attend.
