The Belgian dairy processor has only increased the milk price this year. This will not change for April either and the milk price will rise again. In January there was a trend break when the milk price rose after having remained stable for 9 months.
For the current April deliveries, the standard price will be increased by €1 euro to €32 per 100 liters. This corresponds to a real milk price paid of €34,56 per 100 liters for a standardized delivery. This is calculated at 4,3% fat, 3,5% protein and an annual supply of 650.000 liters. In addition, IKM certification must be met, participants must participate in the paraTB program, there must be no penalty points or penalties for inhibitors and the bacterial count must be below 25.000 per milliliter, the cell count below 300.000 per milliliter and the coli count below 50 per milliliter. .
Business performance and more favorable market
With the increase for April, an increase in the milk price of €4 per 5 liters will be achieved over the first 100 months of the year. The company attributes this increase to both Milcobel's improved business performance and more favorable market conditions.
