Aldi | Aldi plans to invest over £30m in dairy farmers

Aldi has announced plans to invest over £30m in dairy farmers over the next three and a half years through an enhanced partnership with Arla.

This extended partnership, set to run until the middle of 2027, will provide additional support to Arla’s farm owners, ensuring greater focus on sustainability and animal welfare practices, the retailer said.

Aldi added that the investment will enable the store to support Arla’s FarmAhead Customer Partnership, a new initiative aimed at supporting farmers’ ongoing efforts to drive reductions in on-farm emissions.

Through this programme, Aldi will partner in farming projects and innovation that aim to accelerate more sustainable farming practices and decarbonise dairy.

Aldi confirmed that it has also increased its investment in the Aldi Dairy Farm Partnership (ADFP) programme to cover 100% of Arla’s Fresh Milk supply, which extended its support for British farms from 25 to over 150.

Another milestone

Liz Fox, national sustainability sirector at Aldi UK, said: “At Aldi, our commitment to responsible sourcing is at the heart of everything we do. Our strengthened partnership with Arla allows us to better support farmers while driving positive change in the UK’s dairy sector.

“This investment reflects our long-standing relationship with Arla and our dedication to delivering high-quality dairy products to our customers.”

Tim Dale, Arla farmer and member of the ADFP since 2018, added: “We’re incredibly proud of our ongoing relationship with Aldi, which has spanned six years.

“This investment marks another milestone in our shared goal of supporting dairy farmers to produce quality milk that is made in the best possible way. We are excited to continue working closely on initiatives that create a better future for dairy farming.”
