Robert Wiseman Dairies is to increase the standard farm gate milk price it offers dairy farmers by 1 pence per litre to 26.72 ppl from 1 April 2011.

The move again places Wiseman’s standard litre price ahead of those offered by its major competitors in the fresh milk processing sector, for dairy farmers not aligned to major retailers.

Wiseman has stressed that it will continue to reflect momentum in the market for farm gate milk, while maintaining its competitive position.

The increase reflects a continued strengthening in the commodity value of milk and follows a 1ppl increase on 1 March.
