GB milk deliveries: April volumes soar to record high to start the new season
Thursday, 15 May 2025
GB milk deliveries are estimated to have totalled 1,141 million litres in April, up 6.0% compared to the same month last year. Daily deliveries averaged 38.03 million litres.
Incentives for dairy producers have remained strong into April, resulting in a significant volume increase compared to the previous season. Daily deliveries have continued to climb into May.
Favourable dairy economics have encouraged year-on-year growth in deliveries since September. The milk to feed price ratio remains firmly in the expansion zone, almost at a 20 year high. However, lack of rainfall raises some concern to forage availability in the coming months.
Recent milk price announcements for May have mostly held firm, as lower volumes on the continent continue to support commodity prices.
