EU support payments come to UK dairy farmers
2017-01-10 From: Food Magazine Farming Minister George Eustice has announced that support payments from the EU to help UK dairy farmers will start arriving in bank accounts from today. The first payments have been made to over 10,000 dairy farmers across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, amounting to almost £19.2 million. Payments will continue through November and December. The UK government secured £26.6 million in support from the European Commission in September – the third largest support package among Member States – to help dairy farmers affected by the current global volatility in milk prices. UK ministers agreed to pay a flat rate linked to milk production and for the Rural Payments Agency to pay out the money on behalf of the administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland as well as England. The flat rate for dairy farmers in England, Scotland and Wales is just under 0.176p per litre. In Northern Ireland it is just under 0.226p per litre in recognition that Northern Irish dairy farmers have been suffering from some of the lowest prices across Europe. UK government working to open up new export markets “In addition to this short-term support, our work to increase the long-term resilience of the industry continues, including introducing a fairer tax system, pushing for clearer labelling of British dairy products and setting up a futures market for dairy. “We are also working with the industry to open up new export markets and only last week, dairy businesses from across the UK were out in Shanghai exhibiting their wares as part of the Secretary of State’s trade mission to promote Britain’s high-quality dairy produce to the Chinese.”
