Our survey of the main Irish milk processors this week shows a small percentage increase in milk supply estimates for the month of December compared to December 2015. The percentage increase we have gathered in our survey of processors shows a big range from an additional 6% in December for some co-ops in the east down to a -19% estimate for December supplies in Kerry.
Typically, December monthly milk supply is only about 2% of the annual manufacturing milk supplied in a year.
Arrabawn reports a 2% decline on December supplies while Aurivo reports a 5% decline. In west Cork, Barryroe supplies were up 6% in December, as were neighbours Lisavaird, while Bandon was up about 1%. Drinagh estimates December supplies the same as December 2015. Dairygold reports December supplies on par with 2015, as do Centenary Thurles. Glanbia reports December supplies up about 2%. LacPatrick reports December supplies down 10%.
