With the Dutch government currently attempting to reduce dairy numbers in order to meet its phosphorus reduction targets, it was expected that milk production in the state would see a sharper decrease.
However, production has remained steady, with month-on-month collection remaining relatively consistent since late last year.
June milk production does, however, show the lowest collection since November 2016 and is down 61,000t on May figures.
