In March, DOC Cheese comes with a basic milk price of €32,48 per 100 kilos, with 4,42% fat, 3,57% protein and an annual supply of 1 million kilos. This is a plus of €0,54 compared to the month of February. In other words: the milk price has returned to January levels. The mutation is the result of movements in fat and protein prices. These caused last month's decline by falling to €4,058 per kilo. For the month of March, the fat and protein prices are again €4,125 per kilo and so the milk price will increase again.
In the milk price comparator of Boerenbusiness DOC Kaas has not yet made a step up, because FrieslandCampina and Arla have also increased their milk price for the month of March. FrieslandCampina sets an increase of €0,75 per 100 kilos and Arla increases the milk price in March by €0,50 per 100 kilos.
Maximum milk price
Including all premiums (such as vlog, sustainability and grazing), the payment price of cheese maker DOC Kaas can increase to a maximum of €35,23 per 100 kilos. The dairy processor therefore remains slightly below the price of processor Arla, where the maximum milk price for the month of March rose to €35,33 per 100 kilos.
