Cono's milk price is increasing thanks to the autumn/winter bonus (€3,25 per 100 kilos), which the company has paid since September. The fat price does drop by €0,10 to €3,15 per 100 kilos. The price of protein drops from €0,17 to €6,95 per 100 kilos. With an annual supply of 800.000 kilos, this results in a milk price of €37,66 per 100 kilos.
At Cono, dairy farmers have the opportunity to earn a bonus of €2 through the grazing premium. €0,75 can also be earned with Caring Dairy and €1 can be earned by participating in GM-free milk (VLOG milk).
This puts the cheesemaker at the top of the list milk price comparison (for now), followed by the milk price of FrieslandCampina and Bel Leerdammer.
