For an annual supply of 1,3 million litres of milk, LDA pays a milk price of €52,67 per 100 litres. This is the milk price at real Belgian contents of 4,3% fat and 3,5% protein. Including surcharges and a standard additional payment of 90 cents per 100 litres, members can earn up to €1,85 per 100 litres.
