Ace group is last hope for milk sector


After weeks of protests across Europe, with farmers dumping milk stocks and withholding supplies, 27 agriculture ministers met to discuss low milk prices.
Farmers say their current production costs are more than twice the price they get for their milk, moreover there’s the fact that while farmers have seen the prices they receive for their milk decline by 40%, prices in the shops have only fallen between 1% and 2%.
For that reason the agriculture ministers decided that next week an European ace group of high level will meet concerning the future of the European milk sector.
The eventual intention is that the milk producers as of now will discuss with the processing industry and the distribution sector about prices with as head aim reach a better balance between supply and demand.
