Meadow Foods has announced that it will be increasing its milk price by 1.25ppl from 1^st June.  The announcement means that all producers will see their standard A litre milk price rise to 28.25ppl.  All changes will apply to the flat rate element on the price schedule.

Mark Chantler, Chief Executive of Meadow Foods, comments: “We promised that as soon as we were able to achieve better prices, we would pass the benefit back to our producers and we are pleased to do that.  This increase reflects a more positive market for the dairy products we sell and lower than anticipated milk volumes.  We continue to closely monitor the markets closely and remain conscious that there is the main spring flush to come.”
