The February milk price is rising according to the Boerenbusiness Belgian milk price calculator by €0,62 to a base of €34,71 per 100 liters, at actual Belgian levels.
LDA's milk price had dropped significantly in recent months due to sharply falling prices for dairy commodities. As a result, the milk price could no longer keep up with many competitors.
A strong recovery in the dairy market has since brought about a turnaround. The good prices achieved by LDA at the GDT auctions, among others, are also contributing to this.
The enterprise also indicated recently that additional value-based revenues are expected in the coming months. This is linked to an expected start of sales of high-quality whey ingredients. These revenues are expected to give the milk price an extra boost.
