Grana Padano Payout
Starting from the assumption that Grana Padano is one of the most important typical products derived from Italian milk, we use its wholesale prices (set by the Milan Chamber of Commerce) in order to calculate an approximate farm-gate milk price.

The most important assumptions considered for the calculation are the following:

•Value of selected Grade 01 Grana Padano, aged for 9 months or more (last quotation)
•Value of Pasteurised Butter (last quotation)
• Value of the Whey obtained from the price of the Whey Powder for animal feed in Germany (last quotation)
  • concentration costs at the Italian dairy;
  • shipping costs from Milan do Munich;
  • drying costs at the German facility
•Cheese yield per 100 kg of milk (3,7% m.g. - 3,25% prot.)
•Butter yield from 100 kg of processed milk (3,7% m.g. - 3,25% prot.)
•Cost of collection and delivery from the farm gate to the factory per litre of milk
•Processing cost per Lt of milk and/or kg of cheese, including interest costs in order to cover aging costs and deferred revenues
•industrial costs for milk processing into Whey Powder
•Fixed and common costs (related to the firm), sales and logistics costs are excluded.

In order to calculate further approximate prices on the basis of his own inputs, the user can customise the calculation by entering values different from those suggested for the above variables. The user's values can be entered in the blank entry fields in place of the default values, which are derived from the monthly average of current prices.

Another consideration may be added should we consider the mix of different use of milk, dairy wholesale prices and milk yield. The result is shown in the graph simulation concerning the milk price deriving from milk processed in Grana Padano (aged for 15 months) and butter.
