Irish Farmers Call on Co-ops to Make Further Milk Price Moves

 Earlier this week, Joe Healy launched the IFA’s autumn milk price increase campaign, and will lead IFA representatives in a series of meetings with co-ops over the coming weeks to impress upon them that dairy market recovery is a reality and they must begin to increase milk prices.

The organisation's Dairy Chairman Sean O’Leary said: “It is now quite clear that the tide has turned on dairy markets and that we are looking at a recovery.

"With the dire cash flow shortage on farms and prices below the cost of production, farmers will need every extra cent from the market returned by Co-ops to help pay bills and rebuild badly shaken confidence."
