UK Dairy Farms in Crisis Meeting

The UK Environment secretary George Eustice has agreed to hold a crisis meeting with the National Farmers’ Union’s – due to be held this afternoon – to discuss measures to help the UK’s stricken dairy sector. The Covid-19 outbreak has seen the almost complete loss of the food service and hospitality markets – as well as increasing price volatility in global markets – which has left farm businesses and processors under increased pressure.

The milk continues to be produced, despite the slump in demand, which has led to some dairy farmers with no other option but to pour it down the drain.
