Irish Milk Prices: February Stability Amid Minor Changes
Source: dairynews.today
In February, Irish dairy cooperatives largely maintained their base milk prices, though minor adjustments and bonuses were noted.
The latest Milk Price Tracker, reported by Agriland and ICMSA, documents milk prices for February 2025, reflecting stability with most Irish dairy co-ops holding firm from January.
A key conversion factor of 1.03 for milk volume to weight was maintained. While the majority remained above the 50c/L threshold, two co-ops reduced their base price.
Kerry Dairy Ireland slipped to fifth place after a 2.00c/L drop but offered a 0.95c/L top-up, while Lakeland Dairies fell to the bottom following a 1.00c/L reduction.
West Cork co-ops ranked highest, with Lisavaird at 51.41c/L, and Tirlán achieved a maximum price of 56.08c/L through a 5.7c/L bonus.
Various bonuses, both unconditional and conditional, provided further financial nuances for February’s milk supplies.
