UK government to issue new code of conduct for dairy supply chain The UK Government and Devolved Administrations have published their response to last year’s consultation seeking views from dairy farmers and processors across the UK about how contracts and relationships could be improved.
The 12-week consultation was launched in June last year, with input from Devolved Administrations, to explore whether regulations could be introduced to ensure fair treatment across the UK’s dairy sector. Imbalances of power within the dairy supply chain were believed to be causing instability for dairy farmers, such as where milk buyers have the ability to set and modify the terms of a contract at short notice.

Dairy farmers facing disputes over the Dairy Code of Conduct are being encouraged to get in touch with the Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman. It comes after the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission released a report.
