Canada’s Doyle elected IDF President
*Richard Doyle has been elected to a four-year term as the new President of the International Dairy Federation succeeding UK-based Jim Begg. *
Doyle is currently Executive Director of Dairy Farmers of Canada (DFC), an organisation that represents the interests of the Canadian dairy producers and the promotion of dairy products and their nutritional benefits.
Doyle has 32 years of experience in the dairy industry and an active involvement in IDF at national and international levels.
Commenting on his appointment, the new President said, “I strongly believe that IDF is well positioned to respond to the future challenges facing the global dairy industry, both in terms of offering a well recognised scientific and technical base and as an international forum where industry leaders can share their experiences, solutions and strategies to address an ever-evolving dairy marketplace.” * Jim Begg talked to dairy innovation magazine about his four years as IDF President. The interview and more news from the IDF World Dairy Summit in Mexico will be here on www.foodbev.com/dairy very soon.*
