Carbery increases milk price for August
Carbery Group has announced its milk price for August.
Carbery has increased its base milk price by 1c/L for the month of August.
The additional 0.5c/L support payment introduced in July in recognition of challenging weather conditions will remain in place for August.
A stability fund payment of 1c/L will also be paid, down from 2c/L in the previous month.
If replicated across the four West Cork co-ops of Bandon, Barryroe, Drinagh and Lisavaird, this will result in an average milk price of 41.84c/L, inclusive of VAT, the 0.5c/L SCC bonus and the FutureProof sustainability bonus.
The actual average price paid for August milk, based on actual solids, is expected to be 48.51c/L, including VAT.
A spokesperson for Carbery said: “We are pleased to increase our base milk price by 1c/L for August, while maintaining our overall milk price.
“We also recognise the challenging operating conditions our farmer suppliers have faced as a result of the weather, and the additional 0.5c/L support payment will remain in place for the month.”
