Milk supply and production by dairies
Description
Dairy farmers in the Netherlands supply approximately 96% of the milk to the dairies. They keep the remaining 4% for their own use (for the rearing of young cattle and for their own production of dairy products).
This table provides information on the supply of milk by Dutch dairy farmers to Dutch dairies and the preparation of a number of dairy products by these dairies. The table shows monthly and annual figures. The quantities and levels of protein and fat of the milk landed are known. Dairy products include butter, factory cheese, milk powder, condensed milk and whey powder.
CBS does not collect the data itself, but takes it from the monthly statistics of the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO). Not all Dutch dairies are included in this monthly statistics. However, the coverage is very high: about 97-98 percent of the milk delivered ends up at the participating farms. In order to compensate for the absence of unobserved holdings, the monthly quantities landed were
Milk increased by a few percent. In the case of dairy products, this is not necessary; production by the unobserved dairies is very small.
In addition to the monthly statistics, RVO also carries out an annual statistics in which all dairies are involved. When RVO's annual figures become available, CBS adjusts the provisional monthly figures to final figures, so that the sum of the monthly figures is equal to the annual figure. However, this adjustment is, as a rule, very small.
Data available from: January 1995.
Status of figures:
