In November, Cono sets the fat and protein price at €2,95 and €7,02 per kilo, respectively. The milk price therefore increases by €0,61 to €35,70 per 100 kilos. Including the bonuses for grazing, VLOG and Caring Dairy, the milk price can rise to €39,45 per 100 kilos. These prices are based on an annual supply of 1 million kilos and the standard Dutch contents.
This means that Cono Kaasmakers is currently at the top by far milk price comparator van Boerenbusiness, although this position is somewhat flattered by the autumn surcharge of €2 per 100 kilos. This will expire in December.
Fourth increase at Bel Leerdammer
Bel Leerdammer is also increasing its milk price for the fourth month in a row. The basic milk price increases by €0,75 to €33,90 per 100 kilos, with a fat and protein price of €3,25 and €6,95 per kilo respectively. Including bonuses, the milk price can rise to €37,50 per 100 kilos.
The higher milk price is due to the increased raw material value of milk. An increase in payout prices is likely in the coming months. The first milk prices for December show a further increase. This means that Dutch dairy farmers can end 2019 on a good note in terms of milk price.
