Muller, First Milk, and Barber’s Cheesemakers kept their milk prices unchanged for December, while Freshways announced a reduction of 7 pence per litre. Arla cut its conventional milk price by 0.45 pence per litre for November to 40.41 pence, held its organic price at 58.25 pence, and dairy markets showed weaker butter and cream prices but improving skimmed milk powder prices.
The price cuts and weaker butter and cream markets point to pressure on farm-gate milk values, while firmer skimmed milk powder offers some offset. This divergence raises uncertainty about producer prices in 2027.
