“Global milk supplies have continued to grow significantly and markets have weakened very considerably throughout the past quarter.
“Economic conditions worldwide remain uncertain and consumer spending power is increasingly compromised by inflation and cost of living circumstances, with continuing effects on buying patterns,” a spokesperson for the co-op said.
Additional payment
The board of Lakeland Dairies has also announced that there will be an additional payment made to all dairy farmer suppliers for all milk supplied in 2022.
This payment will be 0.6c/l in the Republic and 0.5p/l in NI.
The payment was decided by the Lakelands board in December following a 2022 budgetary provision that was made to cater for extreme energy costs and which was later not required.
