The rising cost of milk production in the Isle of Man and around the world is pushing profit margins for farmers and producers to near-record lows.
While farmers' costs are going up, supermarkets are battling for custom by cutting the price of basic foods.
Isle of Man Creamery says as a result, it's struggling to make a good return on its cheese, butter, milk and cream.
Managing Director Findlay McLeod says the creamery also faces a higher energy bill than many of its competitors and the added cost of transport.
A top-to-bottom review of the Cronkbourne operation is now under way, to find cost savings.
Mr McLeod says it's a very difficult situation and something will have to give:
Government re-advertising for new Director of Public Health
New Chairman at Ramsey Commissioners
Motorcyclist flown to UK for treatment after Ballamodha crash
Surge in first time buyers enquiring about mortgages
Air ambulance involved in Ballaugh collision response
Braddan Commissioners petitioning DOI for £475,000 for housing maintenance
