Milk price for September 2024 will increase for conventional and organic milk
From 1st September 2024, the Arla on-account price for conventional milk will increase by 0.89 ppl (1.0 €c/kg) for September 2024. The UK organic milk price will increase by 0.89 ppl (1.0 €c/kg).
This means the UK manufacturing price for conventional milk will increase to 43.33ppl and organic milk to 54.20ppl.
Arla Foods amba board director, and Arla farmer, Arthur Fearnall, said: “Global milk supplies continue to be stable while retail sales continue to grow, albeit at a slightly slower pace. Commodity markets are increasing, driven by fat heavy products, especially butter. The increase is driven by strong demand and additionally fuelled by the low seasonal milk intake and limited availability of fat in the EU. The overall outlook is slightly positive.”
Paul Dover, UK Agricultural Director continues: “This week we announced our half-year results, and we are pleased to have delivered a robust performance, driven by the efforts of our farmer owners and employees. The result of this has been renewed investment in our brands and infrastructure in the UK, driving a consistently competitive milk price, which has paved the way for enhanced sustainability efforts going forward.”
