Arla are not recruiting in the UK, they are in Germany

I wonder with the government of the Netherlands potentially paying off dairy farmers to retire, Arla might be looking for milk, only problem is, will trading between the EU and UK be enough trouble to put them off recruiting UK milk

That's what's predominately driving Arlas price NOT the UK market returns.

Don't forget GDT had the edge taken off it last round.

not sure, if the world gets short of food maybe, it currently looks like exports are going to get nailed with tariffs
That's not kites view in their report.
Plenty of scope for demand growth in middle east and European production growth more or less coming to an end.
Middle East prices have the potential to outcompete European prices and actually take milk away from European consumers.

They also keep saying this is a price reset and 35p is the new 27p.
We will see 27p again.
This is no price re set, its a world that's got a big demand for everything at the moment

We will see 27 ppl again but hopefully 27 is the new sub 20

Without a price reset there won't be any milk anywhere.
All environmental legislation will cost. Unfortunately can't see electricity coming back sub 20 for a while. Why is wholesale gas going to change in foreseeable future so fert isn't going to change much.

Why is world demand going to fall off if India etc does not keep buying fert etc whatever the cost people will starve to death. Not entirely sure the world will allow enough to starve to pull demand back

I think a basket of arla, saputo and crediton is quite a good place to be even better if it includes arlas 13th payment
Dont moan too much about a 3 month recalculation on the way up. It works in your favour on the way down.
It is true in theory but its slightly irritating to say the least, qould have had an extra £2500 for the past 2 months if it had been monthly 😞

Is non aligned level with supermarket now?
Can't be far off and we don't have to jump through the hoops, although I think there's something in Tesco contracts that states its price will always be 1p above non-aligned irrespective of their cost of production model.
 
Not very likely, ( but I’m just about old enough to remember the golden handshake/out goers scheme of the early 70’s) think at that sort of payment level it could take a large section of the industry out.
I suspect that outgoers scheme ran into the early 80’s as iirc it committed those who took part to going out of milk for 4 years after which they were free to resume milk production.
Think it was 84 when quotas came in which then effectively barred those who had technicaly only agreed to go out for 4 years returning to milk production which led to appeals and the slom quota allocations.

I can only see there being a valid case for that if the 4 years weren’t up when quotas came in.
