WITH all Scottish dairy farmers facing further milk price cuts this May and June, NFU Scotland has called on milk processors and retailers to accept a greater share of the costs and risks involved in producing milk or cause irreparable damage to Scotland’s production base.
All major milk buyers in Scotland - Muller, First Milk, Lactalis, Arla and Grahams -have announced further milk price cuts.
NFU Scotland remains adamant most of the burden of low milk prices has been foisted onto producers and this must be addressed by milk processors and those selling dairy products.
