And Müller has reaffirmed its commitment to offering a market leading ‘clean’ milk price with no member retentions, capital levies, balancing or haulage charges.
Pete Nicholson, agricultural affairs manager for Müller Wiseman Dairies, said: “It is right that our members loyalty is earned rather than contractually imposed and we remain happy to be judged by our performance as a company that is ambitious to grow.
“A three month notice period for members of the Müller Wiseman Milk Group has been a central part of the contract we offer to those not aligned to major supermarket customers, for almost 20 years.
“We now urge the rest of the dairy industry to follow suit. It is our hope that the Voluntary Code will be the stimulus required to break the log jam allowing those farmers who wish to move, the means to do so within a reasonable timeframe.”
