The KPMG Audited Milk Price shows that in 2002 little separated the price paid by Kerry, Glanbia and Dairygold to farmers for their milk.

On a direct comparison with the co-ops, Glanbia paid €26.79c per litre to farmers for milk. That contrasts with €26.76c from Dairygold, €25.61c from Lakeland; €25.6c by Arrabawn and €24.7c for Connacht Gold. Town of Monaghan paid €25.69c per litre over the same period.
