August milk price of 35cpl plus Jan to June bonus

Glanbia Ireland increases August milk price to 35cpl and announces a 1 cpl bonus on all January to June 2017 milk supplies.

Glanbia Ireland will pay its milk suppliers 35 cent per litre (cpl) including VAT for August manufacturing milk supplies. Glanbia Ireland has also announced that it will pay its milk suppliers a 1 cpl bonus on all milk supplied in January to June of 2017.

Glanbia Ireland has increased its base price for August by 1 cpl to 35 cpl including VAT for manufacturing milk at 3.6% butterfat and 3.3% protein.

Glanbia Ireland Chairman Henry Corbally said: “while the short term outlook remains positive, we note that the current high prices are leading to higher production in key regions and may affect demand when fully passed through the supply chain. Exchange rates, particularly the weakening dollar, may also have an impact on returns in the medium term. The Board will continue to monitor market developments on a monthly basis.”
