Dairy Farmers Pty Ltd, originally established in 1900, whose parent company is Australian-owned Bega Cheese, is distributed mainly in New South Wales and Queensland in Australia.

It supplies products to local and international markets such as Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

The aim of the co-operative was to market their milk and butter products effectively to city customers.

On 25 August 2020, it was announced that Kirin and Mengniu had decided to cancel the sale because rising geopolitical tensions between Australia and China meant it was unlikely approval from Australian regulators would materialise.

[citation needed] Dairy Farmers brand is mainly used for fresh milk (in NSW and Queensland), UHT "long-life" milk (Australia wide), "Thick & Creamy" yoghurt, and desserts, creams, custard and buttermilk.
