While the weekly difference is slowing, the total milk collections continue to remain 3.6% down on the three-year average and 1.4% down on the five-year average.
These results mean that the collections for the season to date have reduced by 5.7%, or 285m litres, which is equal to around a week’s supply of milk in the current market state, according to analysis by the commodities trading firm INTL FCStone.
