# Irish milk production remains under pressure

> Irish milk deliveries fell 1.7% year over year in September to 760.4 million litres, less sharply than August’s 7.6% decline. Improved fat and protein levels limited the decline in milk-solids production to 0.2%; lower dairy prices have also squeezed farm margins and reduced incentives to expand output.

## Why it matters

Reduced Irish milk output tightens supply, while weak dairy returns discourage a production rebound. This is supportive for milk prices, although the article also reports substantially lower butter and cheddar quotations.
