DairyTas last week released figures which show the state produced 835.4 megalitres, a decrease of 5.4 per cent, while the nation recorded a drop of 6.9 per cent.
However, the state’s share of national milk production has now risen to 9.3 per cent, the highest ever.
DairyTas executive officer Mark Smith says farmers have “weathered the storm” of a difficult year and predicts milk production to reach over 900ML in the coming 12 months.
“[We are] estimating a bounce back in milk production for 2017-18 with better seasonal conditions, improved milk prices and a more confident approach from our farmers,” he said.
“We expect to see more cows being milked and some pick-up in per cow production through the coming season.”
