BUTTER prices are set to rise again next week, as European trends of increasing demand and limited supply are mirrored in the island.

The wholesale price retailers pay for the Guernsey Dairy’s product will increase by approximately 13% on 19 November.

Some shops have already put their prices up ahead of the wholesale price rise, however. The price is now about £1.50 for 500g across island sellers.

Dairy general manager Andrew Tabel said the move was in line with what was happening in the industry across the Continent.
