Statement 14.08.2015
We know that the dairy farming community faces a tough winter.
We announced earlier this week that we are creating a new brand of milk Morrisons Milk for Farmers where 10 pence per litre goes back to Arla farmers.
Today, we are also announcing that we will do the same on cheese by creating a Milk for Farmers cheddar cheese priced at a retail premium of 34 pence-a-pack above our standard Morrisons cheddar price to deliver the equivalent of 10p-a-litre back to farmers who supply the milk.
We are also pleased to announce that we are going to increase our offer to our processors for the liquid milk element of our processed fresh milk to a minimum price of 26 pence a litre from later this month and through the winter.
This month, we will continue discussions with our cheese processor about other initiatives that will help their dairy farmers.
We hope that this offer along with the other initiatives we have announced this week will help our suppliers to better support British dairy farmers.
