Glanbia has cut its April milk price by 1c/l, meaning a base milk price of 26.56c/l excluding VAT for creamery milk at 3.6% fat and 3.3% protein.
Glanbia farmer members will received an additional 0.42c/l payment as part of their share of GI profit. This will mean a milk price of 26.96c/l excluding VAT.
Glanbia said: "The actual average price paid by Glanbia for April creamery milk, based on delivered constituents, will be 31.45c/l (including GI share of profit payment).

"This reduction in base milk price is due to the negative impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on dairy market returns."
