Carbery has maintained its milk price for August milk supplied at 54.2c/l excluding VAT, the same price it paid farmers for their July milk.

The group highlighted that the price it paid farmers in July had been up 2c/l on its June price.

The August price includes a 0.5c/l somatic cell count (SCC) bonus.

A spokesperson for Carbery confirmed that while dairy markets remain stable, they are closely monitoring global markets for any pressure on the economy from inflation, energy prices or other factors.
