Germany: milk price - simulations and issues
The farmgate milk in Germany has registred in the past ten years several price fluctuations.

Such changes of farmgate milk price in Germany may depend on: The simulation graph hereafter evidences that final minimum and maximum pay-out farmgate milk price may be composed of the mix of the aboved mentioned factors:
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 hereafter:
  • milk price calculated from powder and butter;
  • milk price calculated from the Edamer processing;
These simulations compared with farm gate milk price in Germany may show potential influence of the powder price on milk and dairy products prices.
CALCULATION NOTES:
Since January 2010 Fat content, to which Germany farm-gate milk price refers, has increased from 3,70 % to 4,00 %.

Returns derived from SMP + Butter processing are based on the following assumptions:
Returns derived from Edamer cheese processing are based on the following assumptions:
