Protests continue in the UK due to the on-going cutbacks of farmgate milk prices paid by the major dairy processors.

Arla is cutting its farm gate price by 1.67 ppl. Dairy Crest is following with a reduction of 1.3 ppl. Müller is dropping its standard farmgate milk price by 1.9 ppl to 27.1 ppl. The reductions come into force on 1st November.

The cuts are justified with very high levels of milk production coupled with a weaker demand for dairy commodities.

British farmers have announced protest actions against the milk price cuts for the next days.
