Glanbia and Lakeland add 2c to their milk price

Milk suppliers to Glanbia will get 30c per litre for November milk, with Lakeland suppliers near behind on 29cpl; Lakeland will also pay its suppliers 3cpl under its voluntary out-of-season milk production scheme, bringing its effective price to 32cpl for November milk.

IFA dairy chairman Sean O’Leary described Glanbia and Lakeland’s decisions to increase their November milk prices by 2cpl as a welcome step towards delivering sustainable milk prices in 2017.

He urged all other co-ops, who are meeting this week to set November milk prices, to follow suit.
