Leerdammer does not give a reason for the increase of €1,12 per 100 kilos, but what is striking is that the current increase has fairly leveled the playing field in the Netherlands in terms of prices. For this, see the Boerenbusiness Milk price comparator.

A few parties increase their milk price, a few others keep the price stable or reduce it slightly compared to November. The outcome is that the basic prices so far have all been between €43 and €44 per 100 kilos.
It gives the impression of a recalibration of pricing, although the different processors will have their own reasons for this. Arla operates in different markets than, for example, FrieslandCampina and other companies.
The picture is slightly different for organic milk prices. There remain more and larger differences, as can also be seen in the Organic Milk Price Comparator van Boerenbusiness.

The movements are largely the same as with conventional milk, but the results are different. Market leader Eko-Holland opts for a modest reduction of €0,50 per 100 kilos.
