LacPatrick Dairies chair Andrew McConkey said that weakness in the global dairy markets continues to be a concern.
“We are happy to be able to show this commitment to all our suppliers by holding the price again for December,” the Newbliss, Co Monaghan, farmer said.
“However, there are difficulties ahead. We are facing into what is likely to be a challenging year in terms of milk price, with the global market lagging well behind current milk prices.
“As always, we will continue to closely monitor the situation and we commit to return the highest possible price to our suppliers,” McConkey said.
