THE SUPPLY OF MILK to Pine Hill Dairy (PHD) by local farmers has been hit by drought conditions.
The situation has forced the dairy to tap into its inventory to meet demand, operations manager Lorenzo Roach said.
However, he insisted that the situation, though a concern, had not yet reached the stage of major worry.
“Two per cent and whole milk products are done from 100 per cent fresh local milk. We target an inventory supply of around 15 to 20 days so should there be an upset in the market, we would have enough inventory of milk on hand to supply the local demand,” he explained on Sunday, following a service at St Barnabas Church to celebrate the company’s 50th anniversary.
