Milk money helps determine the prices
The background: The milk money should increase noticeably. It is a significant cost factor in the price of butter. A planned increase in milk money will then cause butter prices to rise sharply. The report refers to the Aldi Süd own-label butter brand “Milsani” as an example. The price has already risen by 22 percent.
According to the report, the fact that milk prices are rising is also due to rising energy costs. The high electricity, gas and oil prices are a burden for many dairies. Their reaction: they pass on their high costs to retailers. This is reported by “topagrar online”. Industry experts expect that other dairy products as well as butter will become more expensive.
Newly concluded contracts would provide for significantly higher purchase prices for drinking milk, for example. Customers would also have to pay for them at the beginning of 2022. The same is to be feared with cheese and yoghurt. Not just for Aldi and Lidl customers.
