Commenting, Aaron Forde, CEO of Aurivo said:

“It’s gratifying to see a really robust performance from Aurivo in the 2017 annual milk price review. We continue to perform well in this regard particularly when it comes to peer Co- Ops.

“In what are currently volatile market conditions, Aurivo continues to focus on delivering for its valued milk suppliers and farmer owners.

“While outside of the annual milk price review, it is also positive to point out that Aurivo continued to pay a leading price nationally for liquid milk in 2017.”
