> European and Irish milk prices have been slow to rise despite recent gains in GDT commodity prices. Sharp declines in high-value whey protein concentrates (WPC80 down about €6,500/t and WPI90 down €3,000/t over just over a month) and continued global milk supply growth are holding back farm-gate prices.
