Milk agency bracing for Brexit ‘worst-case scenario’

The National Milk Agency has issued a fresh warning over Brexit, claiming it was advisable to prepare for “a worst-case scenario”.

In the foreword to the 2017 NMA annual report, chairman, Denis Murphy, said that while the domestic market is the destination for 10% of milk supplies, “the UK was the market for 24% of dairy export sales, amounting to €965m, which increased by 15%”.
