# UK milk prices still 16% below last year despite September rebound - FarmingUK News

> Defra data show the UK average farmgate milk price rose 4.8% to 38.45p per litre in September 2026. That level is still 15.6% below September 2025. The AHDB says recent increases are not well supported by weaker wholesale dairy markets.

## Why it matters

Weak wholesale dairy markets limit processors' ability to sustain farmgate increases. Lower UK milk returns could weigh on farm spending on feed.
