Milk prices in Malta have increased once more, with a 1 litre carton of Benna whole milk now costing €1.23, up 8 cents, and Benna skimmed milk rising by 10 cents to €1.10.
This is Benna’s third price hike in two years, following similar rises in December 2023 and 2022 and these new rates, effective today, follow a broader trend of rising costs for everyday items.
Benna, Malta’s leading dairy brand, cited rising production costs, particularly in raw materials like cocoa, and global inflation as reasons for the increases.
The price hikes come amid growing tensions between the government and the Malta Dairy Products consortium, which runs Benna.
The government has expressed concerns over the company’s management and has stated it had no part in the recent price increases.
