Coles adds 20c to the price of milk as war in the Middle East pushes up Australian grocery costs
Coles has raised home-brand milk prices by up to 20c per litre, with Woolworths expected to follow suit, as the Middle East war drives up fuel and fertiliser costs impacting Australian dairy supply chains. Norco has also increased its milk prices, while Coles is making temporary extra payments to farmers; industry analysts predict further price rises across branded dairy products by year's end, and farmers are calling for permanent, fair pricing rather than short-term support.
