The Cono farmer has to rely on the allowances. The basic milk price for August increases in the Boerenbusiness Dutch Milk price calculator by €0,33 to €38,05 per 100 kilos with 4,42% fat, 3,57% protein and an annual supply of 1 million kilos. The price increase is due to an increase of €0,01 on the fat price (to €3,30 per kilo) and a slightly larger increase of €0,08 on the protein price (to €7,60). With the basic milk price, Cono is the highest payer in the Milk Price Comparator, just ahead of FrieslandCampina (€36,98) and DOC Kaas (€36,89).
At the maximum milk price, or the price including all possible surcharges and deductions, the Cono price in the Milk Price Comparator is €42,55. That is slightly less than the maximum milk price of A-ware (€42,76). But at Cono the highest milk price is for almost all members, while at Royal A-ware some of the members (the participants in Albert Heijn's Beter voor program) receive the maximum price.
