Dairy cooperative Milcobel is increasing the milk price significantly because the international dairy market is picking up and the price of mozzarella in particular is rising sharply. This is a very important product for Milcobel.
The price at the legal Belgian contents will be increased by €1,00 to €42,00 per 100 liters. According to the Belgian Milk Price Comparator Boerenbusiness the price at real Belgian contents will increase by €1,05 to €44,76 per 100 liters.
With this increase, Milcobel surpasses most competitors in the market. Only A-ware increased more. However, Milcobel still has a step to take before it can fully compete with the highest payers in the market.
However, volume surcharges do matter at Milcobel. For very large volumes and maximum surcharges, up to €46,38 per 100 liters of milk can be received. However, Milcobel is not alone in this. Surcharges for volume and other requirements can also make a difference for competitors.
