Carbery has pealed a further 1c/L off its base milk price for June, the processor has confirmed.
It has said that it is continuing to support milk price from its stability fund and is allocating 3c/L support for June milk.
If this decision is replicated across the four West Cork co-ops; Bandon, Barryroe, Drinagh and Lisavaird, this will result in an average price for June of 40.2cpl, inclusive of VAT and 0.5cpl Somatic Cell Count (SCC) bonus.
In a statement to www.thatsfarming.com, a spokesperson said that “dairy markets performance and, in particular, the slow demand recovery to date continues to be of concern”.
Carbery is the third processor to announce its milk prices, following statements from Lakeland Dairies and Kerry Group.
