Organic premiums fall as conventional dairy prices increase

摘要

Rising conventional farmgate milk prices have narrowed the gap between organic and the rest of the market. Traditionally at about 10p/litre, the organic premium is now worth up to 6p/litre. Richard Hollingdale, commercial director at organic co-op Omsco, said: "The gap between organic and conventional prices has narrowed. But we are comfortable that when the conventional market starts to drop, that gap will reappear. Historically, the gap was 10-12p/litre; now it is 5-6p/litre."
