South Africa's dairy industry has become a net exporter of dairy products for the first time in two and a half years.

The Milk Producers Organisation says this is a result of the fast growth of dairy exports during March and April.

The Southern African Development Community and Southern African Custom Union countries remain the main destination for South African exports.

The Producers Organisation says milk production during March was 5.4% up year on year with total milk production during the first quarter of 2012 exceedind total production during the same period last year by 2.8%.
