According to the Boerenbusiness Dutch Milk price calculator DOC Kaas pays a basic milk price of €54,27 per 100 kilos for June. That is €1,46 less than FrieslandCampina does, and €1,55 less than Arla pays. DOC also continues to lag behind FrieslandCampina with regard to the meadow milk price, but the difference is not greater compared to May.
DOC Kaas and DMK can benefit in particular from the current good cheese prices. Cheese has been the commodity with the highest valorisation in recent months. DMK is by far the largest cheese producer in Germany, while DOC produces almost exclusively cheese.
Average €48,00 over the first half
Over the first half of 2022, DOC will pay an average basic milk price of €48,01 per 100 kilos. This puts the company just 22 cents lower than FrieslandCampina with €48,23. Arla is on average 70 cents lower at €47,53 per 100 kilos. These prices apply to an annual supply of 1 million kilos, after deduction of 5 cents per 100 kilos for ZuivelNL and are exclusive of VAT.
