[QUOTE="Diarmaid Mac Colgáin, post: 8051295, member: 167187"] These are the prices that are available today based off milk solids of 3.2% protein and 4% fat. If you are being paid for white water then the price will be different. At least there is a reference price to ask the question. Bali Nijar from Freshways in his letter last week to his supplier farmers, quotes Kite Consulting as saying that farmers will need a minimum of 40p to breakeven. He also quotes spot milk at 49p and with milk supplies decreasing and the continued pressure on input costs, 50p is not unreasonable. Dairy farmers are in a unique position at the moment to renegotiate in terms of the milk returns but to ask for more trasnsparency on milk and various derivative processed products, eg. the milk powder that goes into ice cream, mozzarella in pizzas, cheese in ready-made sandwiches etc. Happy to sit down and discuss this [/QUOTE]
