Farmers Union Iced Coffee is a quintessentially Australian beverage, particularly iconic in South Australia where it was first launched in 1977. Originally developed by the South Australian Farmers' Co-operative Union, the brand was created to utilize excess milk production and has since grown into a national favorite, often famously outselling major international cola brands in its home state. The product is primarily manufactured in Australia, utilizing fresh Australian milk and coffee bean extract.
Over the decades, the ownership of the brand has transitioned from a local cooperative to international dairy conglomerates. It was previously owned by Lion Dairy & Drinks (a subsidiary of the Japanese company Kirin). In early 2021, the brand was acquired by Bega Cheese Limited, a prominent Australian-owned dairy and food company. This acquisition returned the iconic brand to Australian ownership, with Bega Cheese Limited serving as the ultimate owner and headquartered in Bega, New South Wales. The product continues to be a staple in the Australian dairy market, maintained through Bega's extensive national distribution network.
