The association wrote in a statement on Wednesday that farmers’ protest actions in the last few days clearly reveal that there is great discontent among farmer families. These concerns and concerns should be taken seriously.

The dairy industry organization wants to set target price A for the second quarter of 2024 on March 1. The association emphasizes that the target price reduction decided at the end of 2023 must now be corrected. An industry can only be successful if all players in the value chain receive a sufficient share of the profits.

The association says processors and retailers have a role to play here. A total of more than 2,000 farmers demonstrated peacefully in various parts of the cantons of Bern and Fribourg last week.

“With the support of this demonstration, industry organizations must now demand different prices,” association president Jürg Iseli said in an article on the online portal of Bernese Tamedia newspapers on Wednesday. The base will no longer accept this unless compensation is made for the “big increase in prices”.

The A segment of milk includes high value-added products that flow into the protected or subsidized market.
