Arla Milk Link to increase its conventional and organic milk prices from September
Arla Foods amba is increasing its on account price to Arla Milk Link (AML) members by 0.77ppl.
This is as a result of improvements in business performance, taking the AML standard litre to 32.31 pence* from 2 September 2013.
In addition, Arla Milk Link is increasing its organic premium by a further 2.35ppl, taking the AML organic standard litre price to 40 pence.
Arla is working with AML’s farmer representatives to develop a more simple and transparent milk pricing schedule, designed to achieve closer alignment with amba’s pricing schedules, and more closely reflect Arla’s policy for the standard litre price to be achievable by the majority of AML members.
The first action is to remove elements from the pricing schedule which are difficult for farmers to achieve, the effect of this is a reduction of 0.3 pence from the standard litre price although this has no impact on the actual cash received by members.
