Relief for consumers as milk prices stabilise on higher supply

Milk production rose by 6.78 per cent in the 10 months to October compared with a similar period last year, coming as a relief to consumers.

Ministry of Agriculture says the volume of milk rose from 484.3 million litres last year to 517.6 million this year. However, there was a decline in production between July and October, which the ministry attributed to the cold season. However, this was offset by high production in the first half of the year.
