Fixed-Price Milk Contracts: Irish Co-operative Organisation Society

Mr. T.J. Flanagan:

On that, there is a difference between the number of people who have fixed milk price contracts and the people who have problems with their fixed milk price contracts. A lot of people have reasonably small volumes tied up. That is, perhaps, part of the difference here. There could be 2,000 that have all sorts of volumes tied up, but in terms of those who have problem volumes, it is certainly less than 1,000. Those are the problem volume ones. The total volume of milk in fixed-price contracts is certainly well under 1 billion l. Our understanding from talking to people is that it is somewhere between 450 million l and 600 million l. That is the volume in it.
