Tirlán February milk price 56.08 cpl

Tirlán will pay a total of 56.08 cent per litre (cpl) (including VAT) for February creamery milk supplies at 3.6% butterfat and 3.3% protein.

The price includes a Seasonality Payment of 5 cpl (including VAT) that will be paid on all creamery milk volumes supplied in February that meet quality criteria.

The February milk price consists of the following:

• Base milk price of 50.58 cpl (including VAT), unchanged from January;
• A Seasonality Payment of 5.0 cpl (including VAT) which applies to all creamery milk volumes supplied during February that meet quality criteria. This payment also applies to non-contracted volumes from our Autumn calving and Liquid Milk scheme members;
• Sustainability Action Payment of 0.5 cpl (including VAT) to all qualifying suppliers.

The base price, Seasonality and Sustainability Action Payment will be adjusted to reflect the actual constituents of milk delivered by suppliers.

The actual average price paid by Tirlán for February creamery milk, based on delivered constituents and including seasonality, will be 64.23 cpl (including VAT).

Tirlán Chairperson John Murphy said: “Balanced global supply-demand fundamentals have been supportive to the market as we approach peak milk production in Europe. While butter price has strengthened recently, there is considerable uncertainty on the potential impact of tariffs in the coming months. The Board will continue to monitor developments on a monthly basis.”

The Tirlán February milk price includes a 5 cent per litre Seasonality payment which is paid on all non-contracted milk volumes. Ahead of the 2025 breeding season, John Murphy reminded Tirlán milk suppliers that unconditional Seasonality Bonus Payments will remain unchanged for next winter: 5 cpl in December 2025; 7 cpl in January 2026 and 5 cpl in February 2026.
