Cyprus cow's milk deliveries and dairy production report for August 2026

Data released by the Statistical Service of Cyprus on Monday indicates a 2.5% increase in cow’s milk deliveries during August 2026 compared to August 2025. Total deliveries for the month reached 25,360 tonnes, up from 24,720 tonnes in the previous year, although figures remained slightly lower than the 25,530 tonnes recorded in July 2026.

Despite the growth in raw milk supply, the production of various dairy items showed mixed results. Drinking milk output fell by 1.3% to 4,660 tonnes, and cream for direct consumption dropped by 8% to 340 tonnes. Acidified milk products also saw a decline of 1.3%, totaling 720 tonnes compared to 730 tonnes in August 2025. Conversely, the production of cheese made exclusively from cow’s milk experienced a significant 50% increase, rising from 20 tonnes in August 2025 to 30 tonnes in August 2026.

These statistics reflect broader trends within the domestic dairy sector, highlighting an expansion in raw material availability alongside shifting consumer demand or manufacturing priorities for processed dairy goods.
