Third rise for Express milk price
By FWi staff
EXPRESS Dairies has increased its ex-farm milk price for the third time this autumn and is now paying farmers 2ppl more for milk backdated to 1 October.
The company improved its original 1p offer to 1.5ppl almost two weeks ago. The latest move matches a rise announced by Dairy Crest last week.
The improvement comes from the so-called “middle ground” market, which includes shops, forecourts and catering establishments.
