Milk producers 'promised' better deal

Sainsburys have promised that they will pay milk producers higher prices if they can deliver a better service to the customer. Dairy Development Group have welcomed the announcement.

Sainsburys Chief Justin king said "We expect to pay more for milk, but we will only pay a premium for what will add value for our consumers.”

“These benefits have to be tangible – we will not prop up inefficient businesses or buck the market.

“Things like environmental issues and animal husbandry are things customers will value and will allow us to pay a premium for. We expect this premium to be real and substantial.”
