First Milk, the dairy company owned by British farmers, is to raise the amount of capital its farmer members have invested in the business in order to line up funding for more added value deals.
The co-op is increasing the amount of capital its members are required to invest from 0.2p per litre (ppl) to 0.5ppl. That additional investment will be offset by an increase in the price paid to members for their milk.
