About the New Zealand Dairy Industry Awards
Since 1989, the New Zealand Dairy Industry Awards have been a benchmark of the New Zealand Dairy Industry, celebrating innovation, achievement and the best of dairying in New Zealand.
The Awards Programme
Annually, the Awards runs a programme of over 60 events directly involving over 6000 people ranging from dairy farmers to rural professionals, rural businesses, and the wider rural communities. They are coordinated regionally over 11 different awards regions and culminate in a national awards final held in May of each year.
