Duynie still delivers withheld pressed pulp

Due to the dry summer, the beet harvest turned out to be considerably lower, so that beet pressed pulp was also scarce. Duynie was unable to deliver the promised volumes to livestock farmers at the time, but now indicates that it will do so in the coming campaign.

Although the pressed pulp contracts include a 'footnote' that Duynie can reduce the volume in the event of a disappointing beet harvest, the company still wants to compensate the affected livestock farmers. According to the subsidiary of Cosun, a large number of livestock farmers are involved and they are informed by letter.

'Sharp price'
During the coming campaign, livestock farmers will have the opportunity to claim the pressed pulp after all. The price remains the same. Last April, this was set at €1,35 per percent dry matter. Apart from the drought damage that occurred later, this was then seen as a 'sharp price'.
