The government has outlined a raft of measures to improve supply contracts in the dairy sector following concerns that farmers were not being paid a fair price.
The new regulations are set to come into force later this year, with an aim to ensure supply contracts in the dairy sector are fair and transparent.
The rule changes will enable farmers to challenge prices, stop contract changes being imposed without agreement, and ensure farmers are able to more easily raise concerns.
The development of the regulations has been supported by discussion with key industry players including the NFU and Dairy UK.
