October milk prices
The Tirlán Board also confirmed seasonality bonus payments apply to qualifying milk volumes at a rate of 5cpl for December, 7cpl for January and 5cpl for February.
Carbery has increased its base milk price for October by 1cpl, excluding VAT. If replicated across the four West Cork co-ops - Bandon, Barryroe, Drinagh and Lisavaird - it will result in an average milk price of 51.75cpl, inclusive of VAT, 0.5cpl SCC bonus and FutureProof sustainability bonus.
A spokesperson the firm said: “Prices continue to be supported by current dairy market performance, particularly in butter and cheese, while demand is steady."
