From September, the dairy feed specialist will also pay a winter bonus of €3,90 per 100 kilos. With an annual supply of 800.000 kilos, the milk price is €42,50 per 100 kilos. This is based on 4,41% fat and 3,47% protein.
New frontrunner
It is striking that Vreugdenhil is suddenly the leader in September milk price comparison. This while the dairy was still at the bottom in the second and third quarters. Compared to other dairy companies, the basic milk price is now almost €2 per 100 kilos higher.
Last year, Vreugdenhil also caught up in September, but the difference was much smaller then.
Additional premiums
Vreugdenhil gives dairy farmers the opportunity to earn a premium of up to €2,10 on the milk price, with €1,50 being earned by applying outdoor grazing.
Sustainability yields a bonus of €0,60. The premium for quality is included in the milk price. Separately, €0,23 will be deducted from the milk price for the ZuivelNL schemes.
