    Wattle  Health  in  Chinese  approval  for  sale of  milk  powder PETER  HEMPHILL,  The Weekly  Times July  31,  2018  1:36pm UPDATE: SHARES in Wattle Health jumped nearly 50 per  cent  in three  days  last  week  after the  company  announced  it  had  received  Chinese  approval  for  a  milk  powder  product. The  listed  Australian  dairy  company  has  received  approval  for  sale  of  1kg  retail  bags  of  its grass-fed  milk  powder  for  supermarkets,  pharmacies  and  “bricks  and  mortar”  retail  outlets. Wattle  Health  executive  chairman  Lazarus  Karasavvidis  said  the  approval  was  an  important achievement  for  the  company,  as  consumption  of  milk  powders  was  greater  than  infant formulas. Mr Karasavvidis  said  Chinese  approval  for  sale  of  the  milk  powder  would  expand  its  brand awareness.  “This  is  a  continuation  of  our  China  market  strategy  and  ongoing  commitment  to making  healthy,  pure  100  per  cent  Australian-made  produce  available  to  our  China consumers  and  supporting  our  extensive  distribution  partners,”  he  said. A day after  Chinese  approval  for  the  milk  powder  was  announced,  Wattle  Health  said  Corio Bay  Dairy  Group  — a joint  venture  it  had  with  Organic  Dairy  Farmers  of  Australia  and  Niche Dairy  —  had  bought  land in  Geelong  to  build  a  dedicated  plant  for  a  spray  dryer  for  organic milk  powder  production. The  plant,  to  be  located  adjacent  to  ODFA’s  existing  dairy  factory,  is  expected  to  be completed  in  September  next  year. Both  stock  market  announcements  pushed  Wattle  Health’s  share  price  higher,  rocketing from  $1.045  a  share  last  Tuesday  to  close  $1.555  on  Friday. By  early  trading  today,  the  share  price  had  fallen  back  to  $1.405. Mr Karasavvidis  said  Wattle  Health  had  first  and  last  rights  to  powders  produced  at  the Geelong  plant. He said  it  would  have  annual  capacity  to  process  60  million  litres  of  organic  milk  into powders.  He  said  ODFA had  current  organic  milk  production  of  about  35  million  litres  from its  members  but  another  20  million  litres  under  contract  from  farms  converting  to  organic milk  production. “There  is  a  further  25  million  litres  under  contract  which  they  are  securing  (from  farmers) joining  their  co-op.”
