# UFU: Milk market prices rise 19%, but farmers miss out on gains

> The Ulster Farmers’ Union says dairy market prices on its measure have risen 19% over four months, but the increase has not been passed through to Northern Ireland milk producers. It is urging processors to raise their year-round base milk price, arguing that seasonal winter supplements—typically around 3 pence per litre—do not adequately cover production costs.

## Why it matters

A higher sustained farm-gate milk price would support producer margins and could increase the cost of milk supplies to processors; seasonal supplements alone may provide only temporary support to winter production. The article does not report a specific change in feed demand or feed prices.
