At FPP we consider the sharing of content and knowledge to be one of our principal responsibilities. We’ve created FPP Checkout to allow us to deliver against this.

The purpose of this platform is to simplify the consumption of content. With so many sources in both the offline and online world, it’s easy to fall behind on essential reading. Checkout finds relevant, up-to-date information and delivers it to you in one easily-accessible environment. What’s more, we also use Checkout to provide FPP category analysis and opinion whenever and wherever relevant.

Checkout is a platform designed with you in mind. And that doesn’t just apply to the content we deliver, but also the way in which we deliver it. We provide information that isn’t just relevant to the industry as a whole, but relevant to you as an individual.

If you click on ‘My Account’, you’ll be able to select the categorical content that is of interest to you. This will allow us to prioritise the content that we know you like.

We use a number of sources for the articles featured on Checkout. Whilst we won’t necessarily cover all of the publications you access, below is a list of the most common to try and give you as much as possible in one place:

Müller announces January milk price drop

The Müller Direct standard litre price from January 1 will be 27.5p per litre, down one pence. The dairy giant have said that the reduction in the milk price reflects continuing declines in the market value of dairy commodities including cream and butter.

For the first time, the 28ppl headline price – which includes the 0.5ppl Müller Direct Premium – is in line with the price offered to farmers through the Müller Direct Fixed Price contract option, which provides a ‘safety net’ to protect against market volatility.

More than a third of the 700 Müller Direct farmers opted to commit up to half of their milk supply to the Müller Direct Fixed Price contract option, one of a number of measures introduced by the company to provide stability in a sector which has experienced damaging levels of unpredictability.

Rob Hutchison, milk supply director, said: “We are continuing to see declines in returns from markets for cream and butter and like most processors exposed to the liquid milk sector, we are not in a position to ignore market realities. We are pleased that so many Müller Direct farmers have opted to use the measures we introduced to manage the effects of extreme market volatility.”
