Aurivo, the Sligo based dairy producer, has announced that it will increase its base milk price for July supplies, according to Agriland.ie.
It has increased its base price by 1c/l to 31.5 c/l, which it said is reflective of the steady milk market.
A spokesperson from the group said that the co-op is committed to paying its suppliers the maximum price possible, but this is subject to the market’s performance.
Aurivo recently announced a €48 million investment plan for the business for the next five years towards a new expansion programme which incorporates a range of projects across its dairy ingredients, consumer foods and agri-businesses and will grow employment across the co-op between now and the end of 2022.
