Dairy Farmers of Britain

Dairy Farmers of Britain was a cooperative formed in 2002 that united UK dairy farmers to sell their milk collectively, ensuring better prices and stability. It aimed to provide farmers with fairer income by pooling resources and marketing milk under a common brand. In 2009, the cooperative went into liquidation due to financial difficulties, leaving many farmers without contracts and impacting the supply chain. Overall, it was an attempt to strengthen farmers’ bargaining power in the competitive dairy industry, emphasizing collaboration over individual selling.
