Dairy Producer Organisations: guidance
Find out what a Dairy Producer Organisation (DPO) is, and what you need to do to gain recognition from the Rural Payments Agency (RPA).
A group of dairy farmers in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland can apply to RPA to become a DPO.
A DPO is an organisation with one or more aims, formed on the initiative of a group of farmers. A DPO’s aims can include negotiating contracts for the delivery of raw milk on behalf of its members.
