Carbery, the umbrella company that the four west Cork dairy processing co-ops trade under, held a board meeting on Monday (14 June), where the board decided to lift milk price 1c/litre. If the individual co-ops decide to pass back this when they subsequently meet at individual co-op board level it should result in at least a 1c/litre milk price hike for milk suppliers for May milk supply. This would bring May milk price to average 33.7c/litre for the four co-ops. Also at the meeting Cormac O’Keeffe was elected as the new chair of Carbery.
