Ireland will be one of the few countries in Europe that will see stabilisation of its milk supply, as Europe’s dairy herds and milk supply are set to fall between now and 2035.
EU and UK milk production is showing signs of a structural decline, with production growth at a standstill since 2020, according to Richard Scheper, Dairy Analyst with Rabobank.
