Dairy cooperative Arla Foods is to partner with Sainsbury’s in a new voluntary scheme that will see its farmer owners receive a guaranteed price and home for their calves at conception, when producing Aberdeen Angus beef for the retailer’s premium ‘Taste the Difference’.

The UK’s largest farmer-owned dairy co-operative, Arla Foods, has joined forces with charity Magic Breakfast to offer free educational materials to help children across the UK learn about where food comes from and the importance of a nutritious breakfast.

Arla Foods’ on-account prices for conventional milk will decrease by 0.75 euro cents per kilo and the UK organic milk price will decrease by 1.5euro cent per kilo from 1 July 2020, however the figure will be positively impacted by a 0.03 ppkg quarterly currency adjustment.   When applied to the manufacturing price Arla’s pence per litre for conventional milk will be 29.26 pence and the organic price 37.62 ppl for Arla’s farmer owners who have completed their Arlagarden and Climate Check data.

To support Arla Foods accelerated transition to more sustainable dairy production, the cooperative has updated its farm management and quality programme Arlagården® to better reflect on-farm results and deliver the highest level of data yet. The revised programme gives consumers and customers even more insight to meet their expectations and build trust.
