The Rural Payments Agency (RPA) has received details from milk purchasers of the amount of milk produced for delivery in October 2013. The United Kingdom wholesale milk deliveries totaled 1090.6 million litres in October, the seventh month of the milk year. At the same time last year the figure was 994.4 million litres. The cumulative total for the year is now 7,935.6 million litres. At the same point in 2012 this figure was 7,812.4 million litres.
