Co-ops urged to follow EU-wide dairy price rises
Mr Healy said EU dairy commodity returns rose by 5cpl in the last three months to an early August level equivalent, after 5c/l processing costs, to a farmgate milk price of 25.38cpl +Vat, or 26.7cpl including Vat.
He called on those co-ops that had yet to decide on the July price, especially those at the bottom of the league, to first follow the Lakeland, Glanbia, and Arrabawn lead by increasing July prices, but also for all co-ops to budget for significant further milk price increases for August and beyond.
