Dale Farm’s decision to increase its June price matches a similar rise by Lakeland Dairies on Friday 10 July. Lakeland is now on a base of 24.25p/l for June.
Glanbia Cheese also announced it is increasing its base price, although the Magheralin processor is adding as much as 1.5p/l for June. This puts its suppliers on a base of 23.75p/l.
