Posted on: 10/02/23

DEFRA calculations put the average farmgate milk payout for December at 51.51ppl for the 1.238 billion litres produced in the UK which in itself was an increase of 3.2% on November 2022 production and 1.7% ahead of December 2021 production. 

Total UK milk output for the calendar year 2022 was down 0.5% on 2021 testimony that the old addage of 1% less makes a huge difference to the price of milk, oil or any product just as 1% extra production has the opposite effect. The average farmgate milk price payout in 2022 stands at 44ppl.
