The supermarkets must increase the milk price by €0,05 across the entire dairy range. Interest group Agractie came up with this demand on the same day that the Albert Heijn distribution center in Zwolle was blocked.
The Central Bureau for Foodstuffs (CBL) in The Hague has been informed of this. Aggractie expects results within 7 days.
AH supply hindered
The correspondence with the CBL coincides with the blockade of the main distribution center of the country's largest supermarket chain Albert Heijn. This blockade probably means that more than 200 locations of the supermarket chain are no longer supplied with stock. The municipality of Zwolle had issued an ultimatum to the protesting farmers, after which the blockade was ended, which was started this morning and was lifted again at the beginning of the afternoon.
Following in the footsteps of Aldi Germany
Agractie demands from Dutch supermarkets to follow the German supermarket chain Aldi, which in Germany has also increased the price of milk in the dairy by €0,05. The extra turnover generated by the price increase should enable dairy farming to offset the additional costs of sustainability goals such as extra biodiversity, carbon sequestration and nitrogen emission reduction. Only in this way can dairy farming meet these explicit social wishes, Agractie said in a press statement.
