Milk deliveries in Great Britain rose by 2.2% year-on-year in January

Great Britain's milk deliveries in January totalled 1,047 million litres, up 2.2% compared to the same period in 2024.

Deliveries averaged at 33.8 million litres per day.

For this year's milk season so far (April-January), production totalled 10,376 million litres, a 0.8% increase compared to the previous season.

Deliveries have showed year-on-year growth since September, as farmer confidence seems to have been rebuilding over the autumn and winter months. January deliveries remain well above the five-year average for the month, despite the cold start.

Milk price announcements held steady to lower in February, falling back slightly for aligned contracts but still positive. The milk to feed price ratio remains extremely favourable which should support a continuation of increased milk production.
