The Republic of Ireland will witness a base price of 36c/L (3.6% butterfat and 3.3% protein), marking a 2c/L increase. Eligible farmers will also benefit from a 3c/L out-of-season payment.
The Ornua Purchase Price Index (PPI) recently rose to 125.8 earlier this month, signaling an indicative price return of 37.2c/L, inclusive of VAT, for November. These developments reflect the dynamic landscape of the dairy market, as players navigate uncertainties and seize opportunities in the evolving industry.
