From a comparison of the prices at real components, Milcobel's milk price for 2021 is €36,52 per 100 litres, with components of 4,2% fat and 3,4% and a volume of 1,3 million litres. Milcobel paid extra milk money in December and then raised the price to €45,20 per 100 litres, but that did not raise the annual average enough to exceed LDA.

LDA average above €37,66
LDA pays out an average milk price of €2021 per 37,66 liters over the entire year 100, under the same conditions as Milcobel. The December price is €45,70 per 100 litres, which is higher than both competitors paid at the time.
Last year, Royal A-ware paid out an average milk price in Belgium of €39,46 per 100 litres. However, that is for the period from June to December. After all, A-ware only became active in June with the milk receipt in Belgium. Given that shorter period and the average higher prices than at the beginning of 2021, it does not seem surprising that A-ware ends up with a higher milk price.

LDA to Highest Average
Nevertheless, A-ware can also compare with Milcobel over that shorter period. LDA is a dime over A-ware due to the increase in December. Milcobel paid an average of €38,78 per 100 liters over the period from June to December, LDA paid €39,56 per 100 liters. Mentioned prices are exclusive of supplementary payment. LDA is expected to pay it out in any case. Milcobel has indicated that it will pay a cooperative return (after payment) of 90 cents per 100 liters and possibly a dividend later.
Arla followed the three companies mentioned in Belgium at some distance and is slightly below Milcobel's payout level.
