Dairy UK has launched a new export strategy to help the dairy industry “unlock a new world of opportunity” on international markets, while Graham’s The Family Dairy has secured a deal to supply milk exclusively to Starbucks’ Scottish stores.
Following price protests by farmers, Asda has announced that it will raise the price it pays its milk supplier, Arla, to 28p a litre, while keeping the retail price at the current level.
MPs and peers have forged a cross-party group aimed at making the UK dairy industry more sustainable and profitable at a time when dairy farmers are under severe pressure.
Government must deliver one clear message on dairy if the sector is to contribute significantly to global demand for dairy products and compete with other nations, warned Dairy UK chief executive Judith Bryans.
New guidelines will ensure that UK dairy processing companies benefit from a common approach to calculating carbon footprints across the whole supply chain.
