The latest information on milk production and milk use in Wales is contained within the report on the feasibility of increasing milk processing in Wales. This report found about half the milk produced in Wales is processed in Wales with 90% of this milk processed into cheese.
This report completed in November 2015 and was based on the 2014/15 milk year when Welsh production was 1. 8 billion litres.
