'A sustainable milk price for our farmer-owners' - Arla confirms June price hold

“The organic market continues to experience pressure in some European markets.

“Across the commodity markets it is a balanced picture with milk powder prices remaining steady with strong global demand underpinning the market, continuing uncertainty in Europe holding back fat prices and Cheese prices cautiously starting to move positively over the last few weeks.

“It is being part of a strong European cooperative that has enabled us to hold our conventional milk price for the fifth month in a row.”

Innovation

Graham Wilkinson, UK Agriculture director at Arla said: "Consumer led innovation across the dairy category helps us to deliver a sustainable milk price for our farmer-owners.

“As major food trends are increasingly shaping the way we eat, the benefit of being part of a leading dairy cooperative means we can tap in to the global research and development which is key to staying one step ahead of the next big thing in both retail and foodservice.”

He added milk was nature’s ‘original superfood’ and, alongside its farmer owned status, this enabled it to share its story and educate people on the benefits of dairy,

“After welcoming more than 80,000 visitors on to our farms in 2018 we continue our support of important consumer driven initiatives, such as Cows on Tour and, for the fourth year in a row, Open Farm Sunday.”
