According to figures published this week by the CSO, Irish milk production for July stood at just under 1bn litres – a new record volume of milk for that month and up more than 4% on last year.
The strong growth in July milk collections in Ireland follows equally strong growth in April, May and June, when production was up by 3% to 4% per month. Indeed, from April through to July, Irish dairy farmers have produced a combined 4.1bn litres of milk this year, which is the highest volume of milk every produced through the peak months.
The July production figures brings Irish milk supplies for the first seven months of 2020 (Jan-July) to a cumulative 5.3bn litres, which up almost 4%, or 200m litres, on the same period last year.
