E-petition calls for minimum milk price
milk
Milk prices have fallen rapidly over the past six months.

Dairy farmers 'in crisis' due to toppling prices

A government e-petition calling for a minimum milk price for farmers has so far received more the 26,000 signatures.

More than 60 dairy farmers left the business in December alone as a result of crippling cuts to milk prices.

A global oversupply of product combined with reduced demand has led retailers to drop their prices to farmers dramatically over the past six months.

Campaigners are petitioning the government to set a minimum milk price for farmers to help protect individual businesses and the future of the industry as a whole.

Similarly, MPs this week urged the government to offer greater protection to the UK's dairy farmers, following a report on dairy prices.
