Many Lurpak fans have already be left unhappy as the popular butter's price soared to £9 for a kilo tub but now they could be facing further problems. For the manufacturer Arla Foods, which produces the dairy product, has warned there could be shortages ahead.
The firm said its farmers are facing problems recruiting suitable staff. It has been reported that four out of five of its UK farmers looking to hire staff have received "very few" or even "zero" applications from those with the correct experience and qualifications.
This means many are cutting back on milking with the firm saying milk volumes are currently down by about 3%. compared with last year. And it warned if this grew to 5% then there would be shortages on the shelves, reports the Birmingham Mail.
