Tasmania’s Van Diemen’s Land Company, 98 per cent owned by a New Zealand regional council, owns nearly 30,000 dairy cows in northwest Tasmania, including the state’s largest property Woolnorth.
VDL announced last year it was looking for a cash injection of at least $180 million to fund dairying expansion, allowing it to build 20 new dairies on Woolnorth each milking 1000 cows, acquire other
local dairy farms and double milk production from 70 million litres a year.
Tasmanian Premier Lara Giddings said her message to foreign investors was that they were most welcome in Tasmania, because the state continued to be resource-rich but capital poor.
“Foreign investment has the potential to expand our capacity as a state and our economy, not diminish it; we must attract this investment into Tasmania”
Investors ‘dance’ for prize of Van Diemen’s LandSue Neales The Australian October 20 2012
A POSSIBLE Chinese buy-in at Woolnorth that would bring extra North-West jobs and milk production has farmers and the Greens on a collision course.
“We must ask, how is this development in the national interest?” Australian Greens leader Christine Milne said yesterday.
“How will it benefit Aussie farmers and our wider community, and what consequences will it have on our natural environment?”
The Tasmanian Farmers and Graziers’ Association was bullish about the idea of China’s sovereign wealth fund buying into Tasmanian dairying, saying farming needed foreign investment.
