Food Vision Dairy Group, made up of key stakeholders from the Irish dairy sector, was established in January and is tasked with planning how the industry will meet targets for agriculture and land-use emissions reductions set in Ireland's Climate Action Plan.
However, during a recent meeting it was explained that if the Food Vision Dairy Group was not successful, quotas would need to be set.
The options were, a scheme to cap trade, volumetric limits, or herd number limits.
However, it was made clear this would only be considered should the Food Vision process fail to deliver an alternative.
