Australian milk production continues to decline

In January, Australia's milk production declined by 5.5% and a massive 9.2% fall was experienced in February as compared to the same period a year ago brought about by the flood that hit eastern parts of Australia in January.

This is according to the latest figures from industry body Dairy Australia.

Total output for the month was pegged at 615.5 million litres compared with 677.5 million litres in February 2012.
