DAIRY co-operative Arla has confirmed it will be holding its December farmgate milk price. This means manufacturing prices for conventional and organic milk will remain unchanged from December 1, at 30.66ppl and 39.02ppl respectively.

Arla Foods board director, and farmer owner, Arthur Fearnall, said global milk volumes were continuing to show year-on-year growth of approximately one per cent, and the impact of the second wave of Covid-19 was being felt in the markets.
