IN BRIEF

&#8226 UNITED Dairies, the Northern Irish co-op, has set a base price of 18p/litre for April milk supplies, reflecting the weakness of the dairy markets and the strength of sterling.

The company predicts prices in May and June will fall to 17p/litre. A gradual improvement thereafter should give producers an average base price of 19p/litre for the milk year, it maintains.
