Surprise 1.5 Euro Cents (1.4/1.3ppl) April Milk Price Increase for Arla Members takes them to Over 30ppl

Posted on: 23/03/21

Ian cannot recall an April milk price increase of this magnitude which is some achievement and clearly indicates for Arla the market has turned north. 

The increase will be paid to both Arla’s Conventional and Organic suppliers and results in the following www.milkprices.com standard litre prices. 

The dynamics of the increase are identical to the GDT surge in prices namely; strong demand for dairy from China in addition to increasing cream and butter prices, plus lower EU Milk output. For sure Arla members will recognise the financial benefits from their investment in the business unlike AHDB Horticulture and Potato growers/levy payers where clearly, the majority of those who voted feel they are not receiving enough benefit to their business from their levy payments.
