Just two member co-ops accept Ornua's offer of help for fixed milk price suppliers

"Ornua has offered a flexible programme to our members to enable them to target such cases amongst their own farmer supply-base"

"We strongly believe that it is incumbent on everybody to step up and support these hardship cases,” Ornua's chief executive John Jordan said.

Just two of Ornua’s member co-ops have accepted an offer of support to help farmers who are experiencing “hardship” as a result of fixed milk price schemes.

Ornua's member co-ops include Aurivo; Arrabawn; Carbery; Dairygold; Glanbia; Lakeland Dairies; North Cork Creameries; and Tipperary Co-op.
