The milk powder products, with its head office in Nijkerk, Gelderland, maintain the fat and protein price for August at €5,70 and €3,10 per kilo respectively. With an annual supply of 1 million kilos of milk and standard Dutch contents, the basic milk price remains stable at €32,26 per 100 kilos.
Winter allowance is coming
On top of the basic milk price, premiums can be earned for grazing (€1,50) and sustainability (€0,60). In practice, the maximum payment price can therefore increase to €34,36 per 100 kilos. This puts Vreugdenhil at the bottom milk price comparison van Boerenbusiness. However, from September the dairy farmer will pay a winter surcharge of €3,90 per 100 kilos, which means an increase is expected.
According to Vreugdenhil, this stable milk price is a reflection of the flat dairy market. For example, ZuivelNL's skimmed milk powder price has been moving fairly stable for weeks in a bandwidth between €200 and €220 per 100 kilos.
