LacPatrick was the latest major processor to set its milk price this Tuesday afternoon, holding its base price at 28.7c/l for May supplies in the Republic but stopping the 1.75c/l support payment introduced in April.
In Northern Ireland, LacPatrick has decided to increase its base price by 1p/l to 26p/l. However, it has stopped a 1.5p/l support payment there too, resulting in a net drop of 0.5p/l compared with April.
