> Freshways will cut its farmgate milk payment to 29.4 pence per litre from December 1, while Arla reduced its standard November milk price to 40.41 pence per litre and held its organic price unchanged. The article attributes the reductions to weaker dairy markets, autumn milk oversupply and high operating costs, despite higher supermarket milk prices.

## Why it matters

Oversupply increases processors’ ability to lower farmgate payments and signals downward pressure on milk prices. High feed, fuel and fertiliser costs may squeeze producers but do not remove the near-term supply pressure.
