The Scandinavian dairy cooperative uses a basic milk price of €55,24 per 100 kilos. This is an increase of €0,24 per 100 kilos, which is due to a currency effect. The pasture milk price is €55,74 per 100 kilos. There are some underlying changes. For example, the fat price increases from €6,89 to €7,25 per kilo. The value of protein, on the other hand, decreases from €6,20 to €5,80 per kilo. In the Dutch Milk price calculator van Boerenbusiness Arla will narrowly surpass FrieslandCampina next month.

Better For
The Dutch branch of Arla has embraced the Better for Nature & Farmer quality mark as of 2025. In doing so, it is introducing a new top milk flow that entitles dairy farmers who participate to an additional sustainability premium of €5 per 100 kilos of milk.
