The 700 farmers who make up the Tesco Sustainable Dairy Group will now receive the new price of up to 32.77ppl from 1 April 2013 – one of the highest prices paid by any retailer for milk.
Tesco will be offering a £40 bonus payment for every Aberdeen Angus calf produced by TSDG farmers from their dairy herd, using specially selected sires.
The £1m investment represents a significant extra income for TSDG dairy farmers, with the payments available for all Aberdeen Angus calves born between January 2014 and January 2015.
The payments are being offered to increase the number of Aberdeen Angus cattle in the UK following the retailer’s commitment to source all their Finest range beef from the Aberdeen Angus breed.
