The board of Lakeland Dairies increased the co-operative’s milk price for the month in question.

In a statement to That’s Farming on Thursday, November 11th, 2021, a spokesperson for the milk processor said:

“In the Republic of Ireland, Lakeland Dairies has increased its milk price by 0.5 cents per litre and will pay a base milk price of 38cpl, including VAT, for milk at 3.6% fat and 3.3% protein.”

“Meanwhile, in Northern Ireland, Lakeland Dairies has increased its milk price by 0.4 pence per litre and will pay a milk price of 30.5p/litre.”

“Global dairy markets remain strong at present with continuing restrained milk supply across Europe, New Zealand and the United States.”

The spokesperson said that “strong” purchasing and consumption from Asia is also a “key” market driver.

Lakeland Dairies confirmed that it will continue to monitor the mar­ket “closely” in the weeks ahead.
