Both Aurivo and Carbery have held their September milk prices. The co-ops are the latest to announce September prices after Glanbia, Lakeland, Kerry and Dairygold all held their prices.

Carbery suppliers will continue to receive 32.8c/l excluding VAT. Those in Aurivo will receive 30.4c/l excluding VAT.
