“At the moment, the price changes are totally the responsibility of the retailers – they have not passed costs along to us,” Nicola Hedge, an Arla spokesperson, told just-food.
The dairy group said that an in-line sales performance, 3% increase in milk sales, strong branded performance, cost saving measures and increased milk selling prices have allowed Arla to recoup some of the expenses associated with higher energy costs.
