Carbery cuts October milk price by 1c/l, Dairygold holds
Carbery, which has been leading on milk price all year, has announced it is cutting milk price by 1c/l for October. Meanwhile, Dairygold's price remains unchanged.
In September Carbery announced to its four co-ops that cheese market returns justified a 2c/litre September milk price cut. However, in a written note to the co-ops, it also stated that the overall Carbery business was going to top up the deficit for September milk, so the price paid to farmers remained the same as that paid in August.
However, this price cut means that Carbery has gone below the price paid to farmers for a number of months.
Dairygold, too, set its October milk price this Tuesday. Just like last month, the co-op decided to keep it unchanged at 25.5c/l.
