Pint of Manx milk to increase by 5p from July
A pint of milk on the Isle of Man will increase in price by 5p to 90p from 1 July, the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture has confirmed. Under the Milk Prices (Amendment) Order 2025, a litre will increase by 5p to £1.50, but a 1,750ml container's price will not change. Most milk produced on island is processed by the Isle of Man Creamery, which is a farmer-owned co-operative. The order confirmed the uplift was recommended to "secure the future of the Manx dairy industry, ensuring a continuing supply of fresh Manx milk" for the island's residents. Retail prices for milk on the Isle of Man are set by the Milk Marketing Committee, which is chaired by the environment minister and includes representatives from the Office of Fair Trading and the National Farmers' Union. The last increase was seen in January 2023, when a litre rose by 10p to £1.45 due to rising costs in the dairy industry. The order, which does not need to be voted on by MHKs, will go before Tynwald later this month.
