Milk Supply Capacity

The availability of this MSA is subject to Udder Delights’ milk supply requirements and capacity.

At the time a farmer offers to enter into the MSA, Udder Delights must not already have entered into sufficient milk supply agreements to satisfy its milk demand requirements.

If the supply of milk exceeds Udder Delights’ demand, Udder Delights may determine milk intake allocations, acceptance of suppliers and supply volumes at its sole and absolute discretion, having regard to factors including:

(a) the timing of a supplier’s commitment to supply milk;

(b) whether the supplier is an existing supplier to Udder Delights; and

(c) whether the supplier supplies Udder Delights on an exclusive basis.

Nothing in this Statement of Circumstances obliges Udder Delights to accept, collect or purchase any minimum quantity of milk from any supplier.
