Milk prices on the rise
By Blair Speedy

HIGH oil prices are about to take their toll in the fridge, with the price of a litre of milk set to rise about 5c.
Milk producing co-operative Dairy Farmers - with brands such as Shape milk, Coon cheese and Ski yoghurt - said yesterday that higher oil prices late last year had led to an increase of up to 25per cent in the cost of plastic packaging, forcing it to raise the price of its dairy products.
Dairy Farmers said the size and timing of the price hikes would vary according to the product and location, with an average increase of 4per cent. The effect on consumers will depend on how quickly retailers such as Coles and Woolworths supermarkets pass the rise on to customers
