Following a meeting today, the Board of Dairygold increased its milk price for November by 1c/L.
The co-op will pay its suppliers a base price of 29c/L for November supplies, which includes a quality bonus of 0.5c/L.
Dairygold follows several other co-ops in increasing its milk price.
Earlier this week, Kerry Group announced that it would be increasing its milk price for November by 1c/L, bringing the milk price to 29c/L.
Following a meeting of the board of Glanbia, it announced that it will pay its member suppliers 30c/L, including VAT, for November manufacturing milk supplies.
This price is inclusive of a 1c/L Glanbia Co-operative Society support payment to its members.
Glanbia Ingredients Ireland (GII) has increased its base price by 2c/L to 29c/L, including VAT, for manufacturing milk at 3.6% fat and 3.3% protein. The GII base price is up 9c since July.
The Board of Glanbia Co-operative Society has decided to pay its members a support payment of 1c/L (including VAT) for November manufacturing and liquid milk supplies.
Meanwhile, Lakeland Dairies also confirmed that it has increased its November milk price by 2c/L, bringing the price paid to farmer milk suppliers to over 29c/L inclusive of VAT.
When the additional 3c/L for voluntary out of season milk production scheme is included, it brings the price to over 32c/L for November milk.
These latest milk price increases come after the Ornua Purchase Price Index (PPI) increased for the month of November to 99.4 points, the fifth consecutive increase in the PPI this year.
The November PPI is the equivalent of 29.2c/L, VAT inclusive and is based on Ornua’s product purchase mix and assumed costs of 6.5p/l.
In October the PPI stood at 95.9 points, while in September the PPI was 92.2.
