The United Kingdom wholesale milk deliveries totalled 1,193.1million litres in January, the tenth month of the milk year, figures released by the Rural Payments Agency (RPA) show.
At the same time last year this figure was 1,179.4 million litres.
The cumulative total for the year is now 12,058.7 million litres. At the same point in 2014 this figure was 11,323.5 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.
