IFA seeks milk price to year end

IFA dairy chairman Sean O’Leary has called upon dairy co-ops to commit their milk price to year end.

While noting the Kerry decision to hold its price, he said suppliers to Glanbia and Lakeland would get 1c/l less for June milk versus May, as the May payout included a one-off Ornua 1c/l bonus from Ornua’s sale of DPI in the US.

The IFA has written to co-ops, urging them to commit to hold payouts to year end.
