In a co-ordinated campaign, furious farmers have halted supplies to many dairies across the country.

They have been blockading dairies with tractors and pouring milk down the drain or feeding it to animals rather than sell it.

With no end to the protests in sight, milk is getting scarce across the country. Now ice cream producers are warning that they may have to halt production.

Bruno Gelato, which is based in Rhauderfehn in the northwestern German state of Lower Saxony, is one under threat.

It specialises in high-quality, Italian-style ice cream and uses only fresh milk in its production.

Other producers are also feeling the squeeze. "There is enough milk in stock to guarantee production for this week, but not for next week," said Michael Muller, managing director of ice cream manufacturer Rosen Eiskrem.
