IFA urges Irish co-ops to match EU milk prices
IFA dairy chairman Tom Phelan is calling upon Ireland's main dairy co-ops to add 1.5c to 2c per litre to bring their milk price in line with European prices.
Mr Phelan says Ireland’s main milk purchasing co-ops had underperformed massively in the Dutch LTO European milk league in the last 12 months. The LTO tracks the price paid by a selection of milk purchasers in the main EU dairy production countries. For Ireland, it tracks Dairygold, Kerry and Glanbia.
