Dairygold deal splits opinion

Dairygold has begun a drive to convince key suppliers in its core North Cork hinterland that signing up to the co-op’s new milk-supply agreement is in their best interests.

The co-op plans to host meetings with farmers, including one-to-one consultations with some individuals.

On the basis of what local suppliers to the co-op told the Irish Examiner yesterday, Dairygold’s board may have a tough job.
