Glanbia Ireland has become the latest processor to reveal its milk price for June supplies - deciding to hold its current price.
Glanbia will pay its member milk suppliers 35.6c/L including VAT for June creamery milk supplies at 3.6% butterfat and 3.3% protein.
Glanbia Ireland (GI) will pay a base milk price for June of 35.18c/L including VAT for creamery milk at 3.6% fat and 3.3% protein. This is unchanged from the May base price, the processor notes.
Farmer Members will also receive a 0.42c/L including VAT payment from Glanbia Co-op on all milk supplied this month as their ‘Share of GI Profit’.
The Glanbia Ireland base price and co-op “Share of GI Profit” payment will be adjusted to reflect the actual constituents of milk delivered by suppliers.

Commenting, Glanbia Ireland chairman John Murphy said:
"The board will continue to monitor developments on a monthly basis,” the chairman concluded.
Glanbia becomes the second processor to reveal its June milk price; on Friday (July 9) Lakeland Dairies became the first processor, stating:
"The Board of Lakeland Dairies has held the co-operative’s milk price for June.
“In Northern Ireland, Lakeland Dairies has held its milk price for June at 29.2p/L.”
