Deputies approve measures to support the industry against agri-inflation, declining consumption and uncertainty over the future of the States Dairy.
Deputies have agreed to increase the subsidy paid by the States to farmers to £2.35M from 2026.
The money will help combat something called agri-inflation, which are the costs associated with farming, which have been running higher than inflation for some time.
Set against this there is uncertainty over the future of the States Dairy, which is operating with ageing equipment in an ageing building.
Guernsey farmers were given a one off extra subsidy of £729,000 in 2022 and '23 to cover a sharp rise in their costs attributed to the effects of Brexit and the Ukraine war.
Environment and Infrastructure said that dairy farm support from government had shrunk in real terms since it was introduced in the early 2000s.
Support for the industry recognises the role farmers play as custodians of the countryside and the importance of the unique Guernsey breed.
