Meadow Foods, the UK’s largest independent dairy, has announced that it will be increasing its standard “A” milk price by 1p per litre to 22.15p per litre for November.
In addition to this A litre price increase, Meadow Foods has announced that its B price for October will increase to 30p per litre.
This is an increase of 3p per litre, which is 3p/litre higher than forecast last month.
The processor predicts the November “B” price will be no lower than 30p/litre.
In August, Meadow Foods announced that they had written to farmers to reassure them that the company would not be penalizing them for any under supply during these challenging times.
Meadow Foods is the UK’s largest independently owned dairy group and leading supplier of milk based dairy ingredients to the food industry.
The organisation currently handles more than 500 million litres of milk each year direct from over 550 farmer suppliers from across the North of England, Midlands and North & West Wales.
The company, founded in 1992, operates from factories in Chester, Peterborough and Holme-on-Spalding Moor and now employs more than 275 people.
