Glanbia reveals 2021 Trading Bonus Scheme and Share of GI Profit
Glanbia Co-operative Society has announced details of its 2021 Trading Bonus Scheme and has confirmed the continuation of its monthly profit distribution payment for milk supplying members.
In the coming weeks, Glanbia Co-op also said that it will return €6.3 million to 4,500 farmer shareholders under the terms of the 2020 Trading Bonus Scheme.
Glanbia Co-op owns 60% of Glanbia Ireland (GI) and receives a dividend each year which equates to 30% of the milk processor’s annual Profit-After-Tax.
At the formation of GI in 2017, members voted at a special general meeting in Punchestown to ring-fence this dividend for distribution to active farmer members of Glanbia Co-op.

Edel Curry, secretary of Waterford LGFA field development sub-committee said: “This will be the first such freehold facility nationally and we firmly believe that it will be a key driver for the greater development of the entire area in terms of sporting, social and economic advancement.

Waterford Ladies Gaelic Football Association (WLGFA) have become the first ladies county football team to fully own their own grounds outright in Ireland after years of fundraising for an 11 acre site beside the Waterford Greenway on the edge of Dungarvan at Ballinroad. Work on the field is expected to commence by the summer and will consist of a state-of-the-art pitch with pitch side spectator stand, changing rooms, coach and car park and a full six lane running track around the perimeter of the pitch.
