Dairygold, Kerry and Arrabawn have held their milk prices for November.
Dairygold Co-op has left its price unchanged at 34.15c/l, excluding VAT. The processor had left its milk price unchanged last month, too. However, its former chairman Bertie O'Leary told the Irish Farmers Journal last week that he expected milk prices to drop in 2018.
Carbery also held its milk price, with the November price unchanged from 34.78c/l, excluding VAT.
Arrabawn Co-op has held its milk price for November supplies at 35.1c/l, excluding VAT.
Meanwhile, Kerry will pay its member suppliers 34.06c/l, excluding VAT, for November milk supplies, a spokesperson confirmed to the Irish Farmers Journal.
On Wednesday last week, Glanbia announced that it would be holding the November milk price at 33.11c/l, excluding VAT, and Lakeland also held at 34.53c/l, excluding VAT, which included a butter bonus of 1c/l.
