In its press release Arla amba Board Director Arthur Fearnall comments:
“Once again, this will be welcome news for our farmer owners who are becoming increasingly pressured by rising on farm costs. Commodity market prices have overall remained relatively stable in April. Powder demand has been strong with increasing prices, while butter and cheese prices have weakened. Overall, so far, European milk intake has been lower than last year; however, intake has started to pick up with a small increase through March and April. The current outlook remains stable. ”
On hearing the news of yet another Arla Milk Price increase one liquid processor’s representative simply commented “God Bless Arla” then used a couple of unprintable adjectives.
