Milk price changes

Updated 03 July 2025

The latest publicly announced milk price changes as reported by the processors.

July milk prices continue to be stable

Steady to positive moves on the retail aligned liquid contracts by most of the producers. Sainsbury’s saw an increase of 0.09ppl while M&S have held on to their price for the last three months. Co-op Dairy Group and Tesco have held their price for the last two months.

Non-aligned liquid contracts were also stable overall month-on-month. Crediton Dairy has held steady for the last seven months after continuous increases over the previous year. No changes have been reported for Muller since December last year and Freshways from June this year. Paynes Dairies, Pembrokeshire Creamery and Yew Tree all announced no change to their milk price this month.

Cheese contracts followed the stability seen in liquid milk contracts with the exception of Wyke Farms, which made an announcement of a 0.4ppl increase in July. At the time of reporting, Lactalis and Wensleydale had not made a public announcement. All other participants on the league table made no change to their price in July (Barbers, Belton. First Milk, Saputo, Leprino and South Caernarfon Creameries).

Manufacturing contracts remained steady apart from UK Arla Farmers Manufacturing reducing their price by 0.15ppl. Pattemores Dairy have held for the last nine months whilst Meadow held on to their price for the third consecutive month.
