Freshways has announced a 7 ppl reduction in its milk price for December, following steep rises of 3 and 6 ppl in August and September. Most other UK milk buyers announced holds or modest adjustments for November and December.
GB milk output in October was 4.1% below the previous year, and output for the first seven months of the 2026/27 milk year is down about 2.6%.
Tight UK milk supply limits how far the wider market can fall, even as one processor cuts prices, so buyers of dairy-based feed ingredients should not assume a broad price collapse. Falling wholesale prices, however, reduce farm-gate income and may tighten producer budgets.
