Supermarket Morrisons is due to meet with farming industry leaders to discuss the price that producers are paid for milk.
Talks will include the UK's four main farming unions - the NFU, NFU Cymru, NFU Scotland and the Ulster Farmers' Union.
The move follows a meeting of unions on Monday amid protests from farmers against supermarkets over “unfair” milk pricing.
Although a 4 pint bottle of milk costs a farmer 62p to produce, farmers are paid on average 48p, a loss of 14p per litre, forcing UK dairy farmers to rely on subsidies.
Morrisons, which has said it is not seeking any further reductions in milk prices, will now not be targeted in the ongoing protests, which have included cows being marched through a branch of Asda and a co-ordinated attempt to blockade supermarket distribution centres.
The number of dairy farms in England and Wales has dropped by a third since 2005.
Morrisons, Aldi, Lidl or Londis have been accused of paying the lowest prices, whilst Tesco, Sainsbury, Waitrose and Marks & Spencer all pay the 30p a litre or more which is the minimum dairy farmers say they need to survive. Meanwhile, Asda and the Co-operative have agreed to raise their price to farmers but it still falls short of the 30p threshold.
