The peak body for dairy farmers in South Australia says the industry is resilient, after administrators failed to find a buyer for a major dairy company.

More than 150 South Australian workers at Beston Global Food Company and two dozen dairy farmers will lose their jobs when operations cease next Friday.

41 farmers are also owed a collective 10 million dollars.

Rural Editor Emily Minney spoke with South Australian Dairyfarmers Association President Robert Brokenshire about the closure of the company.
