The Swedish Dairy Association is the national organisation for swedish dairy farmers and the swedish dairy industry. The association works on behalf of its owners, who are the six largest dairy cooperatives (jointly representing more than 98 percent of swedish milk production), three livestock cooperatives, two semen-producing companies, and nine breed societies.

The Swedish Dairy Association gathers, develops and communicates knowledge relating to the entire chain from cow to consumer. These areas include Nutrition, Milk Quality, Environmental Issues, Milk Policy, Milk Economy, Management, Cow Data, Feeding, Animal Welfare, and Breeding. The Swedish Dairy Association is today a prominent company with a well-established network of researchers, experts, decision-makers and people who shape public opinion, in Sweden and abroad.

Being a knowledge company, we are in a constant process of business analysis and learning. By combining our proprietary research with external joint ventures and through our national and international networks, we are able to hold a front-line position. Our knowledge is used to create public opinion and influence political policies to ensure that we can continue to drink good high-quality Swedish milk in the future. Our knowledge is also utilized in the development of various tools used in the advisory work and services offered to dairy farmers by the livestock cooperatives. The ultimate aim of the Swedish Dairy Association is to provide opportunities for its owners to be competitive in an ever-changing global market.

The Swedish Dairy Association has offices in Stockholm, Eskilstuna, Lund, Uppsala, and has approximately 100 employees.
