January 07, 2022 2022 Outlook and Beyond Project Reset
For the first podcast of 2022, Ben Eagle is joined by Kite’s Managing Partner John Allen and Chris Walkland to give their outlook for the year ahead and to revisit Project Reset. Before this though, they first pay respects to Dairy Journalist Barry Wilson, who sadly passed away on Christmas Day. Carrying on his milk market positivity from 2021, Chris delivers the first milk market of 2022 and goes on to discuss with John the milk market outlook and continuing (upward) shift in both the milk market and farm inputs. They discuss what has changed since the Project Reset report was published in October, where we are now in terms of prices and cost of production and where we could be heading this year. They outline how UK dairy can make the most of this window of opportunity, given we are not currently subject to some of the same regulations and limitations as EU producers. They also discuss how the shifting markets put power back with producers and how those who are able to learn the lessons of the past and make strategic decisions on the future of their business will remain resilient for the long term.Please note: The information provided during this podcast has been

To outline the key messages in the report, Will and Ben are joined by Andy Warne; NMR’s Managing Director, Erik Elgersma; founder and director of Strategic Analysis Services BV, Kite’s Managing Partner John Allen and Chris Walkland who also delivers the usual market update. They discuss the limited ability and appetite of traditional dairy export nations to meet the continuing and increasing Global demand for dairy and the resultant opportunities for UK dairy in these markets.

November 12, 2021 Arla identify the value and growth of dairy in international territories
This week, hosts Will Evans and Ben Eagle are joined by Simon Stevens - Executive Vice President of Arla and Head of Arla Foods International and Kite’s Managing Partner, John Allen, talking about the broader, international Arla business as well as our usual Milk Market update from Chris Walkland. Simon and John discuss the business and commercial growth opportunities for Arla outside of Europe including the Middle East, Africa and Asia. They focus on how the rising demand in these territories is due to their increasing appetite for dairy and willingness to spend more of their income on health and nutrition. This, coupled with the capacity for growth in traditional dairy producing territories being curtailed by environmental constraints, will potentially result in a long-term shift in the value of dairy, as recently highlighted in Kite’s Project Reset.

November 05, 2021 Carbon sequestration calculation
This week, Will and Ben are joined by Alexi Ernstoff, Global Science Lead and Sustainability Consultant at Quantis International and Kite’s Head of Sustainability, Rachael Madeley-Davies to talk through the work with Brian Lindsay and the team at Global Dairy Platform. Many farms may have already calculated their carbon footprint, but have been waiting for methodology to understand how to incorporate the carbon sequestration capacity of their farmland. The C-Sequ project brings together stakeholders from the dairy and beef industry to agree guidelines for calculating carbon sequestration in cattle production systems. With all we’ve heard this week from COP26, it would be easy to think that farmers are part of the problem but Alexi and Rachael discuss how the opposite is true and the opportunities for farmers to be recognised for good environmental practice. Plus not forgetting the usual milk market update from Chris Walkland. Please note: The information provided during this podcast has been

October 29, 2021 Kite highlight the need for a dairy price reset
This week, with Will on holiday, Ben is joined by Peter Willes - Director of Parkham Farms, John Allen and Chris Walkland to discuss Project Reset, with Kite leading the way in the call for a realignment in the price of dairy products on the shelves. We might be seeing the highest AMPE Chris can ever remember, but with unprecedented levels of inflation for key inputs; both on farm and throughout the supply chain, the price of dairy to the consumer can no longer remain at current lows - the price of food must reset. John, Peter and Chris discuss the current imbalance of supply and demand for dairy products and the risk to consumers and retailers if we don’t bring together discussions across the whole supply chain.Please note: The information provided during this podcast has been
