Arla Foods UK is to increase what it pays its cooperative members for milk, the company said today, as commodity prices continue to firm in 2010.
Arla said that it would pay an additional 0.5ppl for milk supplied by members of its dedicated supply group, Arla Foods Milk Partnership (AFMP), from 1 June 2010, taking Arla’s standard litre price to 24.5 pence.

AFMP chairman, Jonathan Ovens, added: “This increase follows a period of discussion between AFMP and Arla. The partnership board will continue to monitor commodities and other factors affecting milk price on an ongoing basis.”
