Farmers praise Glanbia for milk price bonus

Dairy farmers have praised Glanbia Ireland for “signposting the road that other milk processors must follow” writes Stephen Cadogan.

ICMSA Dairy Committee chairman Gerald Quain said his organisation wasn’t slow to criticise processors for inadequate milk prices, but it now behoved them to acknowledge Glanbia Ireland’s commitment to their suppliers, demonstrated particularly in the group’s decision to pay a 1 cent per litre bonus (cpl) for all January to June milk supplies.
