This page contains data regarding New Zealand milk production.
The first graph show the milk production through a three-year perspective, while the second one shows the monthly % changes.
The tables record the milk production organised by dairy season (June-May), by calendar year, expressed in two units: thousand of tons of milk, and tons of Milksolids (milkfat + protein).
The last graph shows the historical evolution of the number of dairy cows in New Zealand.
