Farmer shareholders of Glanbia urged to attend AGM over prices

FARMER shareholders of Glanbia plc have been urged to attend the group’s annual general meeting (AGM) in Kilkenny today and make their voices heard about the prices they are being paid for their milk supplies.

IFA president Padraig Walshe said Glanbia’s recently announced €8 million loan package would help with cash flow on some farms.

But it fell far short of what farmers really need – a leading milk price paid by the country’s largest processor. He said farmer shareholders of Glanbia plc must make it their business to attend today’s meeting in large numbers.
