Carbery confirms reduced base milk price for April supplies

A Carbery spokesperson said the reduction in base price is based on continuing weakness in dairy markets.

If this decision is replicated across the four West Cork co-ops of Bandon, Barryroe, Drinagh, and Lisavaird, this will result in an average price for April of 41.25c per litre, inclusive of Vat and 0.5c per litre somatic cell count bonus. 

Carbery has confirmed a reduction to its base milk price for April supplies by 2c per litre. 

Carbery said it has also agreed to continue to support its milk price from its stability fund and is allocating 3c per litre support for April milk.
