The United Kingdom wholesale milk deliveries totalled 1,277.1 million litres in April, the first month of the new milk year, figures released by the Rural Payments Agency (RPA) show.
At the same time last year this figure was 1,111.9 million litres.
The wholesale delivery figures have not been adjusted for butterfat content and all figures are provisional. RPA relies on individual purchasers to provide the data, which is supplied ‘subject to confirmation’ and may be amended.
One purchaser failed to submit a return.
