Dairy co-operative, Norco, is preparing to send a trial batch of its fresh milk to China.
Owned by farmers in NSw and Queensland, the co-op already exports ice cream products to Japan and North America and has been developing a market for its milk in Asia for the past 12 months, ABC reports.
Norco is hoping to send the batch within the next couple of weeks, and is now sorting through the quality assurance requirements.
"We're probably about 80 per cent there; in terms of everything that needs to be done on this side from farm, through processing, through to the port is all under control," Norco's chief executive officer, Brett Kelly said.
"What we're working on now, the last part, is getting through all the quality assurance through customs and the bureaucracy that you need to have the milk accepted overseas."
