Dairygold introduces phased milk super levy payment for suppliers

A decision by Dairygold to introduce a phased milk super levy payment scheme has been welcomed by the Irish Farmers’ Association. 

The scheme will allow the co-op’s suppliers to stagger their super levy payment over peak periods in the following two years.

IFA Dairy Committee chairman Sean O’Leary said this was a positive example that other co-ops, perhaps in co-operation with financial institutions, should emulate to support their suppliers through the challenging transition out of quotas.
