TJ Sullivan, chair of Carbery Group.

The board of Carbery Group has decided to hold its milk price for December 2019. This equates to a price of 29.8cpl ex VAT at 3.3% protein and 3.6% fat (about €4.20/kg milk solids), inclusive of the 1c support from the Carbery Stability Fund. It is envisaged this will be replicated across Carbery's four co-ops; Bandon, Barryroe, Lisavaird and Drinagh.

In a statement, a spokesperson said Carbery Group will continue to monitor the market going forward.
