# ICMSA Urges Irish Dairy Co-operatives to Raise October Milk Prices Amid Stronger Global Markets

> Ireland's ICMSA called on dairy co-operatives and processors to pass stronger international dairy markets through to farmgate milk payments. It cited a 2.7-cent-per-litre monthly rise in the Ornua Purchase Price Index to 40.9 cents, alongside a 3% gain at the latest Global Dairy Trade auction and firmer European dairy quotations.

## Why it matters

Improved global dairy pricing and sustained demand for dairy proteins can strengthen processor returns and support higher Irish farmgate milk prices. Higher milk prices may support production incentives, though the immediate feed-market impact is limited.
