Two milk price increases for Medina suppliers
Posted on: 16/06/20
From 15th June an extra 1ppl.
From 1st July an extra 1.5ppl.
This takes the average standard liquid litre across the various Medina contracts to 23.25ppl. Whilst not a great price and still one of the lowest for a medium sized liquid processor, it’s moving up and it is paid on all litres with no Medina B price. Note it is highly unlikely any Medina farmers will qualify for the governments dairy hardship fund.
Finally, Medina normally pay producers weekly on a 5-week cycle which was extended to 8 weeks during the peak lockdown and has now been reduced to 7 weeks from June 5th.
