Between 700 and 1,000 people will be questioned for the survey

It will be the first time islanders have been canvassed about the industry and the quality of the service.

Recently the beleaguered industry has been hit by a series of problems including over-production and the high price of milk in the shops.

Many expert reports have been commissioned and written, but Jersey people have never been asked for their views.

Range of questions

The Jersey Consumer Council plans to conduct a survey of between 700 and 1,000 people.

They will be asked about 20 questions by researchers, who will be Jersey students.

The questions will range from what people think about the quality and price of milk, as well as deliveries.

Deputy Alan Breckon, chairman of the consumer council, said the research will be used to show what islanders think of whole issue of Jersey Milk.
