Ontario Goat says it's been able to generate a 6 to 1 return on investment for the province's goat producers.
The organisation has a voluntary check-off agreement with producers through goat milk brokers Gay Lea/Hewitt's Dairy and the Ontario Dairy Goat Cooperative.
A progress report released by Ontario Goat suggests it has been able to leverage an additional 6 dollars and 15 cents in funding for every dollar invested by producers.
The report says that money has gone into priority projects and initiatives that directly impact the viability and sustainability of the Ontario goat industry.
Ontario Goat President Anton Slingerland says he's not sure what more the organisation can do to demonstrate it's value to the industry.
The check-off agreement with Gay Lea/Hewitt's Dairy and the Ontario Dairy Goat Cooperative expires in December.
Ontario Goat is calling on both brokers to renew the agreement for another two years.
The organisation expects provincial goat milk production in Ontario to hit an all time high of over 42 million litres this year.
That would represent a 200 per cent increase in volume growth since 2005.
