In fact, currently, the price of milk paid by the buyers, on average, below 4 Rapana than the price set by the interprofessional Union of milk producers (IP Lait), which from 1 July will be 65 rapanov. Such pandering to consumers is not justified and done by the farmers who actually receive nothing and therefore are forced to reduce production volumes.

According to the Chairman of the Union of Swiss farmers (USP) Marcus Ritter, in comparison with the year 2016 the amount of milk to the market dropped more than 5%.

Vice President USP Hans Frey, believes that currently 65 rapanov a litre of milk only justifies the actual cost of the farms, not including farmers.

Farmers today only "rely on their reserves,"" waiting to be to about 77 rapanov per liter of milk from buyers.
