Milcobel keeps milk price the same for September

This is evident from the Belgian Milk Price Comparator van Boerenbusiness. The milk price at Milcobel's legal contents for September remains unchanged at €56,50 per 100 liters. At real contents and a maximum volume surcharge (at 2,7 million litres), this results in a maximum milk price of €61,16 per 100 litres.

According to the comparator of Boerenbusiness the real milk price for an annual delivery of 1,3 million liters amounts to €59,98, just like in August.

Milcobel therefore pays more than Arla does in Belgium (€58,81 without grazing premium), but the company lags behind FrieslandCampina and Royal A-ware. FrieslandCampina pays €61,07 per 100 liters for September, A-ware pays €63,28 per 100 liters (excluding grazing allowance).
The last party has kept the milk price stable for the third month in a row, but has paid out the highest milk price since July.

Less certainty
Milcobel notes that the international dairy markets have passed their peak and thus appears to be preparing its members for less certainty. "In combination with the hyperinflation and the rising raw material and energy prices that dominate the public debate today, this (the passing of the peak in milk prices) creates a very competitive market situation. But thanks to the strong performance of the various business units, Milcobel succeeds in maintaining the high milk price level. On the other hand, caution remains necessary."

Well thought-out product mix Milcobel
In order to meet all challenges, the Belgian cooperative market leader wants to continue to focus on 'a well-thought-out product mix with a focus on added value, optimization of business processes and the transfer of increased cost prices to the market'. "In this way we continue to achieve a sustainable income for members in the short, medium and long term."
