LacPatrick and Arrabawn co-ops have set their milk price for August, sppokespeople for both co-ops told the Irish Farmers Journal.

LacPatrick's price remains unchanged. In the Republic of Ireland, the cross-border co-op's suppliers will receive a base price of 30.36c/l (excluding VAT). In Northern Ireland, LacPatrick's price stays at 27.5p/l.

Meanwhile, Arrabawn has incorporated the 1c/l drought bonus it was paying in previous months into its base price, to give a new base of 30.56c/l excluding VAT.

Glanbia made a similar decision to include a previous co-op bonus into its base price.

Most co-ops have now held their August prices, with the increase in Aurivo's price the exception.
