Dairygold has committed to reviewing the minimum trading levels that elected representatives must carry out with the co-op.

The commitment was reiterated to suppliers at a sometimes heated Dairygold meeting which was held in Mallow last week.

The current trading levels for all representatives on Dairygold’s regional committee, general committee and co-op board are 25% for new members to the representative structures, 50% for members after year one and 75% thereafter.

These trading levels were adopted by society members voting at a special general meeting (SGM) in October 2021.

“At Thursday’s member information meeting, Dairygold re-confirmed its earlier commitment that the trading levels requirement are being reviewed this year, and any proposed amendments will be brought to the society members for consideration and adoption at a SGM on the same day as the society’s next AGM in spring 2026,” a spokesperson for Dairygold said.
