In 2018/19, a total of $67.8 million was collected through the milk solids levy, plus DairyNZ received government co-funding. That money is invested into a wide range of programmes, guided by the dairy sector strategy, Dairy Tomorrow.

DairyNZ work covers research and development to create practical on-farm tools, leading on-farm adoption of good practice farming, promoting careers in dairying and advocating for farmers with central and regional government.
