The Danish co-operative, owned by dairy farmers, draws 22 per cent of its membership from Britain. It exports to mainland Europe from Britain and vice versa.
It said in its first-half results yesterday: “Free movement of people and goods are key to our business, as is ensuring a sustainable future for the British dairy industry and farmers.
“We want the final trade deal between the UK and EU to be free from tariff and non-tariff barriers in milk and dairy. Over the past six months, we have stepped up our engagement with the UK government and the EU to ensure our views are heard at the highest level.”
Separately, Arla reiterated a warning that prices would rise by Christmas in Europe because of a shortage of milk, cream and butter.
