New charges to supply milk into Glanbia might be about to start.
ADVERTISEMENT
Glanbia farmers continue to hear stories of potential milk pricing or policy changes given the recent milk volume increases.
Industry sources suggest there will be a 2c/l charge on new milk or a €100 fee per 5,000-litre cow.
It has also been suggested that all new entrants will have to be individually approved by the Glanbia board.

Some speculation suggests there will be a reference year on milk supply, that could be 2019, with extra milk supplied over and above this charged at 2c/l or at an alternative milk price.
In Glanbia, there have been 219 new entrants and milk supply is up over 1bn litres since 2014. However, 285 farmers also left milk production. Over 95% of the new milk has come from existing suppliers.
The Glanbia policy on new entrants is under review and will be completed before the start of 2020.
