GB milk continues to flow unabated in November
Tuesday, 9 December 2025
GB milk deliveries in November are estimated to have totalled 1,071 million litres, up 5.2% compared to the same period in 2024. Daily deliveries averaged at 35.71 million litres. We are now also annualising against a period of growth in November 2024. GB milk production is actually 9.8%, or 95 million litres above November 2023.
Production for this year’s milk season so far (April-November) sits at 8,731 million litres, up 5.5% compared to the same period in 2024.
Milk supplies have remained strong driven by the high milk to feed price ratio.
December milk price announcements continue to trend down for most contracts, although the effects differ depending on the type of contract farmers are on. Commodity prices have continued to fall sharply, with a high build up of stocks and not enough demand to deal with these volumes. Further price falls are predicted as processing capacity as well as demand is unable to cope with this oversupply in both the global and domestic markets.
AHDB’s December reforecast predicted GB milk production for the 2025/26 season was forecast to record a new high of 13.05bn litres, 4.9% more than the previous milk year, before beginning to contract in 2026/27. After the flush we should see market signals to begin to be registered in the production numbers and should start to see some year-on-year decline, but it is important to note we will still be annualising versus a very high base and there is likely to still be too much milk for demand well into 2026.
