2ppl second bombshell price cut from Meadow Foods

A group of Meadow Foods suppliers in South Wales have been informed that they join Meadows Cumbrian farmers in taking a 2ppl price cut from 1st April.

The resulting liquid standard litre price is 24ppl whilst those Meadow Suppliers closer to its Chester HQ remain on 26ppl.

A number of Meadow farmers hit with the reduction feel that they have been unfairly victimised and have concluded that whilst Meadow want to hold them to 12 months’ notice, the reality is they are no longer wanted and need to either find new homes for their milk or exit the industry. Its brutal, but accurate.

One affected farmer summarised their position and thoughts as “It was a very heated meeting with Meadow Foods. We can’t survive at 24ppl and Meadow have let us down!”.
