'Manure surplus and processing in balance'

21 September 2017 - Redactie Boerenbusiness - 1 reaction

For the first time, the manure processing capacity in the Netherlands is almost as large as the manure surplus. This is apparent from the 'National Inventory of Manure Processing Capacity 2017' by Bureau Mestafzet.

Hans Verkerk is a fertilizer expert and contributed to the inventory. He explains the state of manure processing in the Netherlands.

Hans hopes that there will be no price war/competition) among the processors because they are already struggling financially, but has he also thought about the suppliers=livestock farmer, because Cumela also invents that there are extra requirements almost every year.

Dear Boereke, CUMELA The Netherlands is not making up any extra requirements at all, the government does that. We try to influence those requirements, so that they remain feasible for both manure transporters and manure processors. The latter also seems very important to me to keep the cost price for the supplier of the fertilizer under control.
