Processors must 'deliver for suppliers in their time of need' as markets recover
Statistics from the CSO for April 2023 show a considerable reduction in peak milk supply with volumes back 3.3% compared to 2022 and 3.9% compared to 2021.
Milk processors have been warned that farmers cannot afford any further cuts to price this month.
Irish Farmers' Association dairy chairman Stephen Arthur said that the current price paid to farmers is "not sustainable", and that processors "must do everything they can to support milk price during peak months".
