With the last increase in the milk price for December, FrieslandCampina pays its suppliers an amount of €62,44 per 100 liters for that month, while the average milk price for the entire year amounts to €55,50 per 100 liters. This excludes a grazing premium of €1,03 per 100 litres.
Arla pays a price of €61,34 per 100 liters in December, while the price for the entire year is €53,91 per 100 liters. The Arla price does not include surcharges for overflow tanks and the like, but includes a Vlog surcharge. At Arla, Vlog is mandatory. FrieslandCampina in Belgium does not have a Vlog stream. The latter company only has a small number of members in Belgium. The farmers are simply suppliers.
The above prices apply to real contents of 4,3% fat, 3,55 protein and 4,4% lactose. They are also exclusive of VAT and are calculated based on an annual supply of 1 million liters of milk.
Other major processors in Belgium have yet to announce a milk price for December in the near future.
