Dairygold and Kerry Dairy Ireland have decided to maintain their milk price for June supplies. This comes following a cut from both co-ops last month.
Dairygold will pay 46.62c/l for milk supplied in June at 3.3% protein and 3.6% butterfat, excluding VAT and including bonuses.
This equates to an average June farmgate milk price of 51.86c/l excluding VAT, based on the average June 2025 milk solids achieved by Dairygold suppliers.
The quoted milk price for June, based on EU Standard constituents of 3.4% protein and 4.2% butterfat, is 50.9 excluding VAT.
A Dairygold spokesperson said: “Overall global dairy demand remains reasonably resilient. However, gradually increasing global supply is beginning to put future returns under pressure.
“In addition, buyers face continued uncertainty in relation to tariffs and geopolitical risks, which is hampering their appetite to take long-term positions.
“The Dairygold board continues to monitor markets closely and will review milk price on a monthly basis.”
Kerry
Meanwhile, Kerry Dairy Ireland also announced it is holding its price. It will pay 47.6c/l for milk supplied in June at 3.3% protein and 3.6% butterfat excluding VAT and including quality and sustainability bonuses.
Based on Kerry’s average milk solids for June, the price return inclusive quality and sustainability bonuses is 50.99c/l excluding VAT.
