Introduction: Taken from the DEFRA blog about the ASCA role: Over recent months, the UK milk sector has
experienced significant pressure from global milk supplies and commodity markets, leading to a sudden and sharp fall
in milk prices.
As the Agricultural Supply Chain Adjudicator (ASCA), my role is to promote fairness, transparency and good practice
across agricultural supply chains, including the milk sector.
The Fair Dealing Obligations (Milk) Regulations 2024 (FDOM24) do not set milk prices. These will continue to be
determined by global and local supply and demand. However, the regulations do require milk purchasers to apply
price changes fairly, transparently and in line with their contracts.
