Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Fixed-Milk Price Contracts: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Colin Kelly:

We have a range, as Mr. Jordan touched on, whether it is bought on the day, quarterly, six-monthly, nine-monthly, or 12 months. It is hard to give a definitive answer because it depends on what is happening in the market. A buyer today with record prices will want to buy hand-to-mouth.
