Fund pours millions into dairy farms
Production drive: Australian milk output has fallen about 20 per cent in 10 years. Photo: Craig Sillitoe

A Scandinavian pension fund haspoured $20 million into Australiandairy farms to help lift stagnantlocal milk production.Australia’s biggest milk pro-
cessor, Murray Goulburn, sourcedthe cash that has bought nine dairyfarms, which have been leased tothe farmer-owned co-operative.Gary Helou, Murray Goulburn’s
managing director, said the invest-ment had added about 30 millionlitres to the co-operative’s milksupply, which is about 39 per centof the national pool.He hopes the foreign cash will
trigger more deals in Australianagriculture, which domestic fundshave traditionally shied away frombecause of the risks associatedwith primary production.Mr Helou said Asia’s fast-
growing middle class, which is ex-pected to grow to 3.2 billion by2030, had made agriculture moreappealing. International pensionfunds, particularly in the US andEurope, have beenmore inclined toinvest in farms.‘‘The superannuation funds are
interested in the sector,’’ Mr Helousaid. ‘‘They like the concept of Aus-tralian and New Zealand milk go-ing into Asia.’’Fairfax Media reported last year
that European super funds were
looking for a 5 per cent return fromthe Murray Goulburn program aswell as capital growth. The farmsare sublet through the co-operativeto ‘‘accomplished farmers’’.Marcus Elgin, executive chair-
man at Australian AgribusinessGroup, sourced the overseas cashon behalf of Murray Goulburn, buthe declined to comment on the pro-gram’s details, citing commercial inconfidence.‘‘I won’t take you through the de-
tails of the transaction because we
will like to do more of these and wethink it’s much more to our advant-age not to excite the market toomuch about what we are doing,’’ MrElgin said.‘‘So I’m not really interested in
blowing the horn on that side of thatequation.’’Murray Goulburn’s executive
general manager of shareholder re-lations, Robert Poole, said despitethe Scandinavian interest, attract-ing capital from superannuationfunds for agriculture projects con-
tinued to be difficult. ‘‘I think agri-culture will successfully attractmore and more non-farm capitalbut companies like Murray Goul-burn are going to have to work hardto facilitate that,’’ Mr Poole said.‘‘Wedidn’t necessarilywant to go
into this avenue but we could seethat if we were going to grow milksupply and attract capital weneeded to be a party . . . and as a co-op we were well placed to linkequity to farmers.’’Milk processors are employing a
range of strategies to boost milkproduction, which has fallen about20 per cent in the past decade fromabout 11.2 billion to 9 billion litres ayear.Lino Saputo jnr, chief executive
of Canadian dairy company Saputo,which owns 88 per cent of Warr-nambool Cheese and Butter, hascalled on farmers to increase theirherds to step up production, sayingtheWCB will process all their milk.‘‘Whatwe are trying to do inAus-
tralia is appeal to the dairy farmersand say, ‘Look, we can be a goodhome for yourmilk. If you choose toincrease your herd size and you’reproducingmoremilk, wewill put onthe infrastructure to process thatmilk’,’’ Mr Saputo said.But he did notmention any finan-
cial incentives such as farm gateprice increases or investment re-bates to encourage farmers to liftproduction.Fonterra, the world’s biggest
dairy exporter, has said it will helpfarmers develop a business planand co-fund the expansion of theirbusiness to boost production.The New Zealand co-operative
said it would help fund the buyingor leasing of neighbouring proper-ties,more cows to increase herds orupdate farm equipment. In return afarmer has to enter a three to five-year supply contract, depending onthe investment.

announceduntil nextmonth,TheAus-tralian Financial Review understandsthe intent is to cut the scheme harderthan a compromise scenario that wasbeing pursued by the EnvironmentMinister,GregHunt.The end result will be closer to the
abolition scenario advocated by PrimeMinister Tony Abbott which wouldend the scheme by closing it to newentrants and grandfathering existinglargescaleprojects.Seeking to overcome the cabinet

Philip Green, the London-basedpartner of the Children’s InvestmentMaster Fund (TCI),whichhas a 33percent stake in renewable energy com-pany Infigen, said the issue was being
watched closely. “Sovereign risk hasalreadyincreasedinAustraliagiventhemedia coverage of the carbon debateand now the RET. Sovereign risk willincreasemore if the stories about cutsto theRETare confirmed,’’ he said in astatement.“This comes at a cost to the nation

partisan political support [includingfromthecurrentprimeminister]. Itcantake a long time to restore trust and insomecases this is only achievedwithachangeinleadership/policy/party.”Under theRET, apolicywhichhith-
