Are milk processors and supermarkets beginning to address dairy farmers' concerns over low milk prices?
Sybil Ruscoe examines Morrisons' announcement that they'll be introducing a voluntary 10 pence per litre addition to milk prices in the autumn that customers can pay in stores if they want to support farmers. She asks what if any difference it'll make for hard-pressed dairy farmers, some of whom are not recovering their costs of milk production.
She also speaks to Arla, the milk processor, who're introducing a new milk marque, while the NFU's Ruth Mason, who liaises with supermarkets, gives her response to developments.
Presented by Sybil Ruscoe and produced by Mark Smalley.
