According to Milcobel itself, the maximum achievable milk price is €40,12 per 100 liters, but that is with an annual supply of 2,7 million liters. With a more common volume of 1 million liters, members receive a real price of €39,01 per 100 liters. In the milk price comparator Boerenbusiness for Belgium Milcobel retains the third position.
According to Milcobel, the prospects for the dairy market remain unfavorable. Inflation continues to put pressure on the prices and sales volumes of branded dairy products in the home markets. The demand for milk powder on the world market is very low. Not only in China, but also African countries are keeping themselves aloof as buyers due to geopolitical unrest.
