Strathroy Dairies is to impose a price penalty on peak-season new milk from 2022 onwards.
In a communication to its 150 milk suppliers in the Republic of Ireland, the Omagh-based family-owned business has stated that processing limitations have forced its hand.
“We are proposing a two-tier milk price for the four peak months March to June,” the company wrote.
Suppliers will be able to choose months from each year to give the highest total delivered volume
Any milk above an “agreed volume” “will receive whatever we can get from the market”.
The agreed volume will be based on the supply for each month from either 2020 or 2021.
