First Milk has today announced that its member milk price will increase by 2.0ppl from June 1, 2022. This will take its June 2022 milk price on a manufacturing standard litre to 42.05ppl, including the member premium and regenerative farming bonus.

Commenting on the announcement, Robert Craig, farmer director and vice-chairman, said:

“We fully recognise the challenges faced by our farmer members because of the significant cost inflation being felt across society. Our aim continues to be to return additional income from the market to our members as quickly as we can, and to work to ensure these increased returns are maintained, to deliver a more equitable dairy industry for the future."
