Wiseman looks to share higher costs

The UK's biggest fresh milk supplier has warned it will look to pass on higher production and farming costs to its supermarket customers.

Robert Wiseman Dairies, which supplies a third of the fresh milk consumed in the UK, has already said it will put up the base price it pays to its farmers by 1.85p to 28.43p per litre to help them meet rising costs. It will be its third increase this year.
