Dairygold has marginally increased its November milk price at 30.59c/l, inclusive of bonuses but excluding VAT, based on standard constituents of 3.3% protein and 3.6% butterfat.

It will equate to an average farmgate milk price of 39.75c/l, excluding VAT, based on average November milk solids.

A spokesperson for Dairygold said: “Notwithstanding that the shadow of COVID-19 and Brexit prevail over dairy markets, there has been some market positivity in recent weeks.

“As is customary, the board will continue to review milk price on a month-by-month basis.”
