Dairy Farmers Daily Accounts Of Losses

The Royal Association of British Dairy Farmers (RABDF) is urging producers affected by the COVID-19 milk crisis to submit a daily account of their losses after the Government calls for data on the severity of the issue in the UK.

The Association is collecting the data by asking farmers to fill out a short survey accounting for their losses on a daily basis for uncollected milk and a monthly basis for those who are receiving a reduced amount per litre

The data is needed to understand the true scale of the problem; where the main issues lie and to help develop solutions to redirect milk that was entering the foodservice sector prior to COVID-19.
