Various milk processors have announced increases in their milk prices for the month of June.
Meadow Foods have announced an increase of 1.25p/L to increase the milk price to 28.25p/L.
Mark Chantler of Meadow Foods said: “We promised that as soon as we were able to achieve better prices, we would pass the benefit back to our producers and we are pleased to do that.
This increase reflects a more positive market for the dairy products we sell, and lower than anticipated milk volumes.
“We continue to closely monitor the markets closely and remain conscious that there is the main spring flush to come.”

The benefits of our continued capital investment in driving efficiency and productivity at our processing sites.”
