Arla suppliers will see their milk price rise by 0.9p/l on 1 March after a rise in milk commodity prices. The move will see Arla’s 2,500 UK suppliers receive their first significant price rise since January 2019. The 30.94p/l price is for milk with 4.2% butterfat and 3.4% protein.
However, Organic suppliers will see their price drop by 0.9p/l from 1 March to 39.98p/l.
Responding to the announcement, newly appointed NFU Scotland milk chair and Arla producer Gary Mitchell said: “The current spring weather doesn’t bode well, but Arla producers can take some comfort from this increase in price.

Issues
“However, this announcement raises a number of issues.
“Some milk producers in Scotland are now receiving 20 per cent more for their milk than their neighbouring farm and in general this calls into question the current state of the UK market as we know this price from Arla is a reflection on the pan-European markets.”
