Fresh Milk Products – Benna

Since the first week of the New Year, Benna, (Malta Dairy Products Ltd.) has increased its prices on several of their dairy products.

Confirmed by local grocery stores and supermarkets, Benna has provided them with a new list of prices at which their dairy products will be now sold.

The increases are significant, with the only major product not affected by the prices rises being most types of milk.

Other products, such as cream and mozzarella saw increases of between 40c and 50c, while ġbejniet increased by €2.60 per kilogram.

The Malta Independent sent questions to KPH Group, the leading driver of Maltese milk production, a cooperative owned by the Dairy Farmers in Malta and Gozo on the reasons for the price increases. This newsroom asked for the reason why prices have been raised, as well as if these prices are a temporary change or if they are permanently fixed prices.
