A survey for the milk sector 

Posted by: Richard Thompson, Posted on: 26 March 2026 - Categories: Guest post, Supply chain
A group of dairy cows walks through a narrow, metal‑framed passageway inside a milking facility. Overhead pipes and equipment run along both sides, with clusters of milking units hanging in place. A person wearing dark clothing stands to the right of the passageway, observing or guiding the cows as they move through the area.

The Agricultural Supply Chain Adjudicator is inviting people across the milk sector to complete a short survey on milk pricing and supply chain relationships. This will help to understand how the regulations are working and how the sector is responding to current conditions.
