Guernsey Dairy announces wholesale milk price hike

Consumers in Guernsey may face higher prices for Guernsey Dairy’s milk in 2025. The States, the proprietor of Guernsey Dairy, has stated that the wholesale price will be raised by 4.4% starting January 5, a decision made to align with inflation. The retail price of milk on shelves across Guernsey might escalate should retailers opt to transfer the elevated wholesale cost to their customers. Mark Thompson, who serves as chairman of the Dairy Management Board, commented: “Every effort was being made to contain increases, but rising costs inevitably had to be passed on to customers.” For further engagement, BBC Guernsey can be found on X and Facebook.
