Glanbia farmers demand top prices

GLANBIA dairy farmers have called on their co-op, at a meeting in Dungarvan, Co Waterford, to pay the top price for milk supplies.

Nearly 500 suppliers urged the country’s leading milk processor to commit itself to a structure that ensures farmers are paid a price substantially higher than the national average.

Glanbia decided two weeks ago to reduce the price it pays suppliers for manufacturing milk by 1.5cpl for May and 1.5cpl for June.
