Re: Arla/Milk Link
Ian Potter website
As ususal Potter's website has a lot of information. Looks unbelievably complicated!
I think Milklink members are on to a winner.
Jonathon Ovens thinks that AFMP will be following in the next few years. I just wonder though. AFMP only bring capital with them, not established processing facilities. I think AFMP members would likely dilute the returns for existing Arla Amba shareholders without really having anything valuable to offer in return.

Remember once on the European price structure with Arla amba you guarantee Arla amba 2.5% profit which is kept back from producers.This is then either capitalised, payed as a 13th payment or invested by Arla amba. So you in theory you could have a milk price of say 30ppl but maybe 2,3,4 ppl in some cases maybe retained by Arla amba.
Again short on detail, but I have been made aware of this. Pretty much as you're saying, split between 13th payment, added to capital account and invested by Arla.
I am expecting there to be more detail atthe end of the week.

Re: Arla/Milk Link
Why is it going to take 3 years to get the same price?? Are Arla going to keep taking £97 million and may be more back to Arla amba members ? It sounds good but the devil may be in the detail.

Because the Arla farmers won't vote in favour if it means short term subsidising Milklink farmers.

Re: Arla/Milk Link
According to British Dairying Milklink's members should be certified insane if they vote 'no'.
Can't see many voting no, it really is a no brainer.
