Good description of the situation thereIt's not quite as simple as that. It can be described generally:
On a constituents basis an ex farm price for a standard litre of milk in the supermarket own brands is around 25ppl currently. It will have varied from 16ppl to 30ppl in recent years.
However the own brand milk in most is tied to specific producers and they receive a set price for it.
As for profits, Farms can vary wildly, processors generally work on tiny margins and supermarkets post profits in the billions.
There are also products available from producer cooperatives where indeed any profit generated finds it way back to the farm however.
