# UK Dairy Farmers Brace for More Strain as Processor Lowers Milk Prices

> Freshways will cut its farmgate milk price by 7p per litre from December 1 to 29.4p, citing weaker dairy markets and poor returns from liquid milk. Arla will lower its standard price by 0.45p per litre in November to 40.41p, attributing the move to high global milk production and a slight fall in whey protein prices.

## Why it matters
