Many groceries have already become significantly more expensive in recent months. The dairy association believes that this trend will continue for its products.
According to the responsible industry association, dairy products could soon become significantly more expensive.
“In the case of dairy products with longer contract terms, the price increases in the shop have not really arrived yet, that will only happen in the coming weeks and months,” said Björn Börgermann, Managing Director of the Dairy Industry Association, of the “Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung” (NOZ, Saturday edition). .
“Increase rates of 20 percent could well be possible,” said Börgermann. In the end, however, this is a matter for negotiation between dairies and trading companies. Karsten Schmal, vice-president of the farmers’ association, demanded in the “NOZ” that increases in revenue be passed on “in full” to the farmers: “Regardless of whether organic or conventional – milk producer prices must rise.” The higher expenses for energy, feed or fertilizers “are causing the previous increase in milk prices to fizzle out,” said Schmal. In addition, farmers are concerned whether, for example, sufficient feed for cows will be available in the future.
