Guernsey Dairy to Raise Wholesale Milk Prices by 3.3% in January

Guernsey Dairy is set to increase its wholesale milk prices by 3.3% starting January 4, 2026. This decision is in line with inflation adjustments and is aimed at managing rising operational costs. The States of Guernsey, the owner of Guernsey Dairy, confirmed the change and indicated that retailers would determine the final shelf prices for consumers.

Mark Thompson, chairman of the Dairy Management Board, stated that although every effort is made to contain price increases, the rising costs necessitate passing on some of these to customers. This upcoming adjustment follows a previous price hike of 4.4% on January 5, 2025.

The price increase reflects the ongoing challenges faced by the dairy industry, including rising production costs and the need to maintain financial sustainability amidst economic pressures.
