The total reduction at DOC Cheese amounts to €3,24 per 100 kilos, bringing the basic price to €49,93 per 100 kilos, according to de Boerenbusiness Dutch Milk price calculator. Earlier, Vreugdenhil had already lowered the basic price to below €50 per 100 kilos.
This base price applies to an annual supply of 1 million kilos, excluding VAT and after deduction of the contribution to ZuivelNL. DOC Cheese members can still receive a maximum of €56,93 per 100 kilos, but this is only available to participants in the Tuurlijk milk flow.
The Tuurlijk milk flow will continue for a few more years, but will then be replaced by PlanetProof, as DOC Kaas and Jumbo recently announced.
