Dairy prices inquiry
Status: Closed
Opened: 1 Sep 2015
Closed: 8 Sep 2015
Inquiry scope
Farmgate prices for milk have fallen steadily over the past 16 months, putting pressure on dairy farmers across the UK, and in the wider European Union. At the same time, worldwide demand for milk products has been lower than expected owing to China’s trading downturn and Russia’s import ban on EU produce, among other factors. Protests occurred at supermarkets across the UK over the summer to highlight perceived under-pricing by supermarkets and other major retailers.Oral evidence sessions
