Price of a pint of milk to increase by five pence

Tue, 22 Sep 2020


The cost of a pint of Manx milk will go up for the first time in eight years next month.

From 1 October, the cost of a pint will rise by five pence to 65 pence and two pints from £1.20 to £1.30; a litre of milk will go up by five pence to £1.05.

It is the first increase to the cost of a pint of milk since 1 June 2012 – although some changes to the price of other measures were introduced along with metric cartons in 2018.

The retail price of Manx milk is controlled by the Milk Price Order, which aims to give consumers a reliable supply of fresh cow’s milk at a reasonable price.

As part of the order, the Milk Marketing Committee (MMC), which has the legal power to set milk prices, considered recommendations made by the Isle of Man Milk Marketing Association (IoMMMA), which oversees the promotion of Manx milk and related products.
