milk price

Gallon jug expense

The milk price is the amount paid for milk, typically referring to the wholesale rate farmers receive from dairy processors or cooperatives.

Because milk is a commodity with government oversight in many countries, the milk price often appears in agricultural policy discussions: Farmers protested the drop in milk prices.

The term captures both market rates and regulated pricing systems.
