A disappointing 49.5ppl stand on November milk price from Saputo (AKA Dairy Crest Davidstow/Cheese)

The announcement of a hold at 49.5ppl based on a manufacturing standard litre and 47.72ppl on a liquid standard litre has been described disappointing by its producer organisation DCD. Its certainly far from a leading price for what remains the UK’s No 1 cheddar cheese. The new chairman and board of DCD will likely have to push very hard for a 1st December increase having reluctantly agreed to a November stand on.
