More Information

The AHDB league table shows the latest monthly and annual average price paid on a range of milk contract pricing schedules. These are based on the AHDB standard litre, which has been set based on historic trends for milk delivered in the UK.

The composition details for the standard litre can be seen by clicking on Milk composition details below.
