Milk suppliers continue price protest

KERRY GROUP liquid milk suppliers yesterday threatened to escalate their protests against price cuts being imposed by the group.

Many of the 320 suppliers of liquid milk, that sold in the shops, protested outside Dawn Dairies bottling plants in Limerick (2), Killarney and Galway and said their campaign would continue in the coming weeks.

The supplier/shareholders claimed they would lose substantially more than the six cent per gallon reduction being implemented by the group.
