June 1st, 2021 Is the Dairy Contract Consultation suffering from

survivorship bias?

The government consultation on dairy contracts completed earlier this year failed to take into account the problems faced by those dairy businesses that have gone out of business. It is often the business failures, rather than the successes, that provide more insight when considering reform - so has the new dairy contract fallen victim to

survivorship bias?
