The cooperative has noted an almost 300% increase in the volume of milk being offered for the contract, compared to the previous contract offered in January 2019.

Commenting on the scheme, Dale Farm Group Commercial Director, Stephen Cameron said: “We are pleased to see our latest fixed milk price contract option being well received and supported by Dale Farm producers throughout Northern Ireland.

“Fixed milk price schemes can help offer stability from volatile dairy markets and it is encouraging to see so many farmers considering their business needs and opting for this type of contract.”

Dale Farm announced its first fixed milk price contract option in January 2018, followed by a second the following year. Its third has proved the most popular to date.
