This takes the co-operative's conventional milk price to 32.79 pence and organic milk to 41.15 per litre for farmers.
Arla Foods amba board director, Arthur Fearnall said this would be 'welcome news' for farmer owners who were becoming 'increasingly pressured by rising on farm costs'.
He added: "Commodity market prices have remained relative stable in the last month supported by healthy demand and our strong operations. The current outlook is stable.”
Alice Swift, UK agriculture director at Arla, said that ensuring the most value for farmers for the milk they produced was 'crucial'.
"The increase is testament to a strong business strategy, as well as the continued commitment of our farmer owners to industry leading animal welfare standards," she added.
