With the presentation of the milk price for September, Arla is now fulfilling its expectations. For conventional milk in the Netherlands, the adjustment amounts to a price reduction of €1,14 per 100 kilos. As a result, the base price for an annual supply of 1 million kilos comes to €52,21 per 100 kilos, according to the Boerenbusiness Milk price comparator. This is the price excluding VAT and at Dutch standard values.
In Belgium, the current milk price dropped by €1,03 to €50,71 per 100 liters. This is the price based on different fat and protein contents and an annual supply of 1,3 million liters.
