LacPatrick facing collection and processing challenges due to Brexit
The co-op faces milk collection and processing challenges for its farmers, but also needs to ensure uninterrupted supplies to its domestic and international customers.
LacPatrick has been engaging with its customers and suppliers on Brexit concerns over the last 18 months.
These engagements have stepped up in the past six to eight weeks, a LacPatrick spokesman told the Irish Farmers Journal.
The co-op is involved in ongoing merger discussions with Lakeland Dairies, which is subject to competition clearance.

However, regardless of those talks, there are two strands of its business that the co-op has to ensure, the spokesman said.
First, in the event of a hard border and subsequent delays, the co-op must make sure it can process all its milk in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.
The second concerns products shipped across the world.
