The milk powder producer applies the fat and protein price for the third time in a row in July, with the basic milk price remaining at €31,98 per 100 kilos (based on an annual supply of 1 million at 4,42% fat and 3,57 .34,08% protein). Including bonuses and premiums for grazing and quality, the payout price can amount to a maximum of €XNUMX.
Market pressure in milk powder
In an explanation of the change, Vreugdenhil speaks of market pressure. The processor naturally relies heavily on the milk powder market and there has been renewed price pressure there in recent weeks. Based on the downward trend, it is very questionable whether the price of skimmed milk powder can hold above the limit of €2.000 per tonne. The price of whole milk powder is also currently dropping somewhat
When we look at Vreugdenhil's basic milk price over a longer period (from August to July), it is still on average above €35 per 100 kilos, putting the processor in the lead in the milk price comparator from Boerenbusiness. Looking at July, the powder producer is in the middle bracket.
