Dairy farmers supplying Müller – who meet the conditions for the company's Advantage programme – will receive a milk price of 41.5ppl from June 1, thanks to a 1.5ppl increase at the turn of the month.

Joint Chief Executive Officer at Müller Milk and Ingredients, Rob Hutchison, said: “With unprecedented increases in input costs and challenges facing all parts of the supply chain from farm to shelf, we are committed to ensuring security of supply for the millions of consumers who enjoy the dairy products we make, every day.
