For March, Milcobel has set a standard milk price of €45,50 per 100 liters, compared to €43,50 for February. Translated into real levels, as used in Belgium, this amounts to an actual price of €48,20 per 100 liters for an annual delivery of 1,3 million liters. That is still more than €1,20 less than A-ware pays in Belgium, but the current increase will reduce the gap compared to this competitor somewhat.
Milcobel remains clearly above what Arla pays for March. The price including all surcharges amounts to €46,68 per 100 liters. Laiterie des Ardennes is expected to announce a milk price for March in two weeks.

This means a plus of €1,35 over an average standard price of €33,82, or €1,46 extra on top of an average of €36,52 per 100 liters at real levels.
