Milk producers intensify campaign for fairer margins from retailers

Liquid milk producers are intensifying their campaign to extract a fairer margin from retailers, according to IFA national liquid milk chairman Teddy Cashman.

The IFA claims producers are simply not being paid enough to deal with substantial inflation in the cost of feed.

The IFA also insists producers’ remuneration is out of kilter with retail market trends, which have seen more and more milk sold at lower margins under retailers’ own private labels.
