Government urged to inspect milk industry as farmer payments shrink

A detailed study of the liquid milk industry is being sought by Fianna Fáil.

Its agriculture and food spokesman, Éamon Ó Cuív has directed his call at the agriculture ministers in Dublin and Belfast, Simon Coveney and Michelle O’Neill.

He said the study is needed to ensure continuity of supply and a fair distribution of the profits between primary producer (farmer), processor, distributor, and retailer.
