The Arla on-account price for conventional and organic milk will rise by 2.66p per litre and 1.78ppl respectively, coming into effect 1 November.

Paul Dover, Arla's UK agricultural director added: "We have just concluded our autumn roadshows, in which we were able to meet over 500 farmers at events across the UK.

"We were delighted to be joined by Arla CEO Peder Tuborgh for part of the tour, alongside the UK leadership team.

"We’d like to thank our members for their engaging in such co-operatively spirited discussions at the events."
