View answerMy Department informed milk purchasers in the last week of August of their final allocation of unused quota available for distribution under the Flexi Milk Scheme. The total volume of the unused quota available for re-distribution nationally came to 8.7 million litres. The process of distribution, which must be done in accordance with rules issued by my Department, should now be complete and each milk producer should be aware of his or her final quota position for the 2014/2015 milk quota year.
