Fair Deal Food Campaign
I am no longer so ashamed of the Co-op – as a member. But . . .
.
The Co-op has announced it is to increase the premium it pays on milk to farmers within its group, following protests over the prices some supermarkets pay suppliers.
.
The company said it wanted to recognise the importance of “ensuring sustainable future” for British dairy farmers.
The Co-operative Dairy Group (CDG) said the premium farmers would receive will rise to 2.57p a litre (ppl) with immediate effect and to 4.27ppl from 1 August. It brings the total price they receive to 29ppl.
.
But what will their other suppliers get? We need ALL milk to be fairly traded.
