The latest
Milk Price Tracker – brought to you by
Agriland and the Irish Creamery Milk Suppliers’ Association (ICMSA) – details milk prices from the most significant Irish dairy co-ops for the month of March.
For each co-op, a green arrow indicates an increase in base milk price (compared with the previous month); a blank space signifies no change; and a red arrow indicates a drop in base milk price.
It is important to note that the cent-per-litre (c/L) milk prices – shown in the table below – are calculated using the widely-accepted milk pricing system (an approach employed by most Irish co-ops).

A new interactive monthly milk price comparison tool – which will allow farmers to make relevant processor price comparisons based on their own individual statistics – has been unveiled by the Irish Creamery Milk Suppliers’ Association (ICMSA).
Launched today (Tuesday, April 27) the ICMSA says that this tool will allow dairy farmers to input their individual milk volumes, constituents and quality results and see “at the touch of a button” what they would have been paid for the same supply by every other milk processor in Ireland.
The facility, available to all on the www.icmsa.ie website, will allow a degree of transparency and comparison on an individual basis, according to the farming organisation, which describes it as “completely unique having undergone extensive preparation and testing”.
