The Irish Creamery Milk Suppliers’ Association (ICMSA) Dairy Committee chair, Noel Murphy, emphasized that co-ops "can and should" pay 39c/L for milk supplied in December.
Murphy highlighted the particularly low production in December as farmers opted to dry off early due to slow price rises and high input costs. He asserted that ICMSA would never accept the argument that justified price rises did not matter during low-volume periods like December.
Murphy urged co-ops to prioritize paying the highest possible milk price, stating that 39c/L is a realistic price based on market conditions and global demand.
