There is not much synergism between the Canadian and US dairy business and the Australian dairy production and processing.

Both the Canadian and US dairy export products that need to be heavily subsidised with export incentives from their respective governments to compete in Asian markets.

In both these countries there is high levels of stall feeding were as in Australia ( and New Zealand) milk is produced from pasture the cost of production considerably lower per litre of milk, with a high quality milk.

Australian exports of dairy products are free of subsidiaries , that is a huge difference . I don't think the Canadian management of WCB understand how to operate in a subsidiary free export market like Australia.

WCB are way behind the likes of A2,Bellamy's, and the international companies Nestle, Danone and Fonterra in the baby milk market. It will take some effort and investment to get a product in to the market.
