Rise in prices as farmers urged to maximise milk production for remainder of 2024

"The main driver of market dynamics in the coming months is likely to be the seasonal ramp-up of production in the southern hemisphere."

Tirlán chairman John Murphy said that butter and cream prices recorded a "notable increase in recent weeks due to tight supply". 

Tirlán has confirmed it will pay a total of 44.83c/litre for July creamery milk supplies at 3.6% butterfat and 3.3% protein. 

This is an increase of 1.75c/litre on the payment for June.
