The Dairygold board has reduced price of milk supplied in May by 0.95c/l, excluding VAT.

Based on standard constituents of 3.3% protein and 3.6% butterfat, the May milk price at the co-op will be 46.62c/l, excluding VAT.

The price is including a sustainability and quality payment.

This price decrease comes after Lakeland Dairies announced a 0.47c/l lift to its milk price for May.

A spokesperson for Dairygold said that while dairy commodity prices remain relatively robust, the global supply and demand balance for certain products has weakened.

“Supply is projected to increase and demand in some sectors is challenged, negatively impacting returns.

“Additionally, geopolitical concerns and Trump tariffs pose significant challenges for buyers navigating an uncertain environment.”
