The board of Aurivo has increased its milk price for the month of July by 1c/l, bringing the milk price to 32.74c/l, excluding VAT.

The 1c/l increase on the June price reflects the continued improved returns from dairy markets, according to Aurivo.

It also said that the improvement is been driven by record prices for butter, while powder prices remain weak.

On Thursday, the board of Dairygold decided to increase the price for milk supplied in July by 1c/l.

This increase brings the July price to 32.64c/l, including a 0.5c/l quality bonus and excluding VAT.
