Carbery Group has held its milk price for April supplies with a base price of 37.02c/l ex VAT.
Suppliers will also receive a 0.5c/l SCC bonus and the FutureProof sustainability bonus which a maximum of 1.25c/l can be received for 2026.
Carbery has taken 0.5c/l off last month’s base price but this has been topped up by the stability fund contribution which is increased from 1.5c/l to 2c/l for April.
Based on the solids received by Carbery for the month of April, the actual price paid is estimated to be 41.35c/l ex VAT.
Peak production
“While dairy market returns continue to remain under pressure, Carbery remains focused on supporting milk price stability for our farmer shareholders during the peak production period,” a spokesperson for Carbery commented.
“The stability fund contribution will increase from 1.5c/l to 2.0c/l for the month, reflecting the co-operative’s ongoing commitment to supporting shareholders through market volatility and input cost pressure.”
Dairygold, Tirlán and Kerry Dairy Ireland, which has since rebranded to Kinisla, have held their milk prices for April while Lakeland Dairies and ArraTipp announced increases in base milk prices.
