Aurivo, Centenary and Strathroy reveal boosts to milk prices
Aurivo, Centenary and Strathroy have become the latest milk processors to reveal increases to their February milk prices.
Starting with Aurivo, the board of the western cooperative had a meeting yesterday (Thursday, March 18) to set its milk price, a spokesperson for the co-op said.
In a short statement, the representative said:
The board of Aurivo Co-op has increased its base price for February by 1c/L to 34.65c/L inclusive of standard bonuses and VAT at 3.3% protein and 3.6% butterfat.
“This is equivalent to 37.79c/L at EU standard constituents of 3.4% protein and 4.2% butterfat.”
It was highlighted that the Aurivo price includes a 1.5c/L early calving bonus for February.
“The price reflects the current firm dairy market conditions,” the spokesperson concluded.
Meanwhile, Centenary has decided to increase its milk price for February by 2c/L to 33.1c/L including VAT.
Finally, Strathroy has confirmed an increase of 1.4c/L in the base price for February milk sent in by suppliers.
This follows milk price announcements from Arrabawn, Dairygold and Kerry Group earlier this week, with all processors to date revealing a boost to February prices.
