It's a puzzle, you need to join the dots

Do you have any understanding of the milk market at all.
If a coffee shop only buys 0.5% of the uk's milk but their processor only buys 2% of the uk's milk that coffee shop is responsible for 25% of their income and failing to pay an additional 4ppl would be 1ppl spread over all suppliers.

After several years on "the other side of the fence" I can confidently say that no Coffee shop chain has control over anything like 25% of any processors income.

Multiple small volume drops in city centres don't make a decent margin.

Coffee shops are the retail equivalent of the horsey women who wants 1 small bale of hay delivered at 6pm on a Sunday afternoon.

Simple really, no milk , no coffee. Plenty of other outlets for milk that’s in short supply.

But why should processors have contracts any different to us.
We have contracts that don't even mention milk price.
The processor might love to move the milk elsewhere but probably has a contract that doesn't allow them.

Most farm contracts agree to collect all the milk, pretty sure a retail contract would be for a set amount of milk. Not sure if “ force majeur ” would apply.

Starbucks is a pretty big player over here in fluid sales. Not far off 100 million gallons per year I think .

course they are pledging to push the processed white gruel instead of milk.

Have they put the price down yet?

 

[frederick]

But down would be a double move. The question is whoever they are have they moved up if not whoever it is has cost farmers money.

 

[Dancingbrave]

The question is who are "they" does anyone know yet ?
