North Cork Creameries has reached agreement with Carbery Group on a new commercial milk supply agreement.
“The commercial agreement will assist in providing certainty for North Cork Creameries’ milk suppliers by having a dedicated processing outlet for their milk,” a spokesperson for North Cork said.
“This mutually satisfactory arrangement will deliver value to farmer shareholders across both organisations.
“North Cork Creameries is committed to paying a competitive milk price to milk suppliers and the agreement with Carbery will support this objective.
“For commercial reasons, the specifics of the deal will not be disclosed by either party,” they added.
Confirmation of the agreement comes as a large proportion of milk suppliers to North Cork handed in their notice to leave the co-op, with the decision to terminate milk supply agreements made earlier this week by suppliers in the Moyvane and Feale Bridge area of Co Kerry.
Kanturk
North Cork Creameries has confirmed that progress is being made at the co-op’s processing operations in Kanturk.
“The facility is continuing to meet customer needs. It is operating at a reduced capacity while improvements are being made to effluent treatment facilities. This is in order to achieve compliance with EPA requirements,” the spokesperson said.
As reported by the Irish Farmers Journal earlier this week, the North Cork Creameries business model has been to process milk on behalf of other co-ops and producer groups.
Milk has been processed for two of its neighbouring co-ops, Dairygold and Kerry, among many others.
When asked if Dairygold had made contact with North Cork Creameries about future collaboration, a Dairygold spokesperson told the Irish Farmers Journal: “North Cork Creameries is one of Dairygold’s closest neighbouring dairy processors. Both parties have worked together, in many different ways, over the years and Dairygold has offered its support to North Cork.”
