Guaranteed price
The guaranteed price is the price that the company guarantees to pay member dairy farmers for the farm milk they supply. The guaranteed price reflects the average farm milk price to be paid by a number of dairy companies in northwestern Europe, including supplementary payments, registered reservations, seasonal supplements, quantity supplements, maximum quality supplements, and cooperative supplements or charges.
Based on the monthly guaranteed price, a member dairy farmer receives milk money. The milk money is based on the quantity and protein, fat and lactose content of the milk supplied by the member farmer. The difference between guaranteed price and milk money arises from the offsetting of fixed costs and supplements or charges. In 2024, the fixed costs of organic and biodynamic farms are 0.32 euro per 100 kilogrammes of farm milk supplied.
