Farmer suppliers will receive 38.29c/l, excluding VAT, for June supplies.
In May, farmers received 39.29c/l, excluding VAT, which was the highest milk price set among all the major milk processors.
A Carbery spokesperson said that dairy market performance and, in particular, the slow demand recovery to date continue to be of concern, a spokesperson for Carbery stated.
