LONDON: Deprived of customers such as supermarkets, restaurants and schools due to the coronavirus outbreak and resulting lockdown, British farmers are throwing away thousands of litres of milk.
"Rough times for artisan cheesemakers ... but now the devastation continues - our milk was not collected today and sadly ends up down the drain and on top of that we have still not been paid for February's milk!!," added Winterdale.Freshways, one of the largest milk wholesalers in Britain, is already slashing the prices it is prepared to offer to farmers.Dairy analysts Ian Potter Associates said"there is suddenly oceans of surplus milk desperately trying to find a home".
While"stockpiling has stopped and consumers freezers are full of milk and dairy products", it noted also that"restaurants, pubs, hospitality businesses have been rushing to offload unwanted stock and cancelling orders".
Tom Tugendhat, an MP for the ruling Conservative party, has described the treatment of UK farmers generally as"appalling", putting pressure on the government to act.
