UK processor Freshways will cut the price it pays farmers by 7 pence per litre from December 1, bringing it to 29.4 pence per litre. Arla will lower its standard milk price by 0.45 pence per litre in November to 40.41 pence, while leaving its organic price unchanged; Freshways attributed its decision to weaker dairy markets and poor returns on liquid milk.
Lower processor payments reflect weak dairy-market returns and transfer price pressure to milk suppliers, potentially discouraging production if sustained. The announcement is bearish for UK milk values in the near term.
