December milk prices
In the last week, the majority of processors have set prices for December milk.
In some cases, farmers are receiving over 60c/l when bonuses, VAT and high milk solids are included.
The Irish Creamery Milk Suppliers Association (ICMSA) has said that the breaking of the 40c/l ceiling on milk price is "indicative of a trend" that it expects to continue into at least the first half of 2022.
ICMSA dairy chair Noel Murphy said that the association believes that all milk processors should be paying in excess of 40c/l for December milk, as the dairy market data clearly shows that a price in excess of that figure fully justified.
