    I started thread on this a few months ago but for the life of me I can't find it. Got some useful responses from few on that in particular thorpe, thanks again lads.

    I have been asked to examine the supply of dairy product (I may limit it to liquid milk) from farmers to consumers. Main emphasis will be on movements between Irish farmers and Irish consumers.

    There are three possible movement types product, money and information. I need information on these flows. I also need information on the relative bargaining power of the links in the supply chain as reflected in prices at the various stages.

    Can anyone here help in this area? Thanks in advance.

    Interesting topic - what's the reason for your study?
    Will it include the issue of pricing? Right now a litre of milk can cost up to €1.25, and the producer (farmer) is getting what - circa 25c?
    Would be really interesting to see where the €1 is going, and how it's being split between the processor and retailer.
    Ear to the Ground did an article on it a few months ago, but to be honest it was farcical! They started by saying that the price should be split on average in 3 equal parts between the three stakeholders - and then failed miserably to uncover any information regarding where all the money is going.

    Sorry to sound like I'm going on - bit of a hobby horse of mine. I'm now at the stage where I think the whole country should buy cheap milk from NI to force the processors and retailers to come clean on where the profits are disappearing to in the Republic.
