Move to reopen arbitration on Kerry’s ‘leading milk price’ commitment

Suppliers say the Kerry Co-Op has failed to pay the full milk price agreed in an arbitration process in 2019

Arbitration proceedings have been reopened by Kerry milk suppliers because they claim Kerry Group owes them 8c/L for the years 2015-2020. File Picture.  

Talks about a joint venture between Kerry Group and Kerry Co-Op are a distraction from Kerry Group failing to pay 2,700 suppliers the full milk price agreed in an arbitration process, says the dairy farmer who led the original arbitration proceedings against Kerry Group.

Now James Doyle has revealed he has decided to go back to arbitration, to finally conclude matters on behalf of the 2,700 Kerry milk suppliers that signed the original arbitration forms.
