DAIRY Farmers' co-operative First Milk, which has a creamery in Haverfordwest, is forecasting further price rises for farmers on the back of a 5ppl B milk price increase for November for all membership pools and a minimum 1ppl rise on A prices.
The increase consists of: B price increase (for milk produced in addition to pre-allocated volumes) takes it to 25ppl for all pools from November 1.
The minimum 1ppl A price increase for all non-aligned pools will also apply from November 1.
Chairman Clive Sharpe said: “As occurred with our 5ppl B price increase for August, this latest uplift to 25pl gives members a clear indication that we expect our A prices to follow. Our next announcement will be later this month when we finalise November A prices. First Milk is well positioned to capitalise on the current strength of the market and we are confident we will continue to improve members’ cash-flow.”
