Carbery has today (Friday, July 19), become the latest processor to announce its milk price for June supplies.

The processor has increased its base milk price for June by 1c/L, excluding VAT.

If this decision is replicated across the four west Cork co-ops of Bandon, Barryroe, Drinagh and Lisavaird, this will result in an average milk price of 43.8c/L, inclusive of VAT.

The quoted average milk price paid to suppliers for June includes a 0.5c/L somatic cell count (SCC) bonus and the FutureProof sustainability bonus, both excluding VAT.  

Meanwhile, Tirlán announced an increase of 1c/L in its base price to 42.58c/L including VAT. A sustainability action payment of 0.5c/L, including VAT, will be made to all qualifying suppliers.
