The Midlands was the best performing region in dairy production last year.

The region includes counties Longford, Westmeath, Laois and Offaly.

The value of the Midlands' Operating Surplus grew by 51% to €317 million, due to the region's higher yields and dairy cow stocks, which resulted in the value of its milk production rising by 61% to €461 million, the highest rate of growth in milk in the country.

Meanwhile, the West, which includes counties Galway, Mayo, and Roscommon, was the smallest producer of agricultural output in Ireland, generating €1.1 billion, just 9% of Irish Agricultural Output at Basic Prices.]
