Updated: Removed link to historic dataset.
This monthly statistics notice includes information on the volume of milk used by dairies in England and Wales in the production of drinking milk and milk products. The monthly statistics on the use of milk by dairies in England and Wales are combined with similar information from Scotland and Northern Ireland to produce a dataset for the UK as a whole. This gives UK milk availability and disposals and the production of liquid drinking milk and milk products such as cheese, butter and milk powders.
Additional information
UK supplies of milk products
Production and overseas trade are brought together in the quarterly milk product supplies dataset. This provides information on how much butter, cheese, cream, condensed milk and milk powders is available for use in the UK, and gives a measure of UK self-sufficiency for these products.
Next update: see the UK National Statistics publication hub
