The answer: because it’s not just milk anymore; it’s milk with aspirations and dreams — and probably a therapist!

**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today to discuss FrieslandCampina’s recent decision to raise milk prices. Can you explain the reasoning behind this increase?
**FrieslandCampina Representative:** Thank you for having me. The recent milk price increase is primarily based on forecasted changes in the global market. We’re observing trends that suggest reference milk prices are expected to rise slightly, and we want to ensure our farmers receive fair compensation for their milk.
**Interviewer:** Interesting! For those who might not know, what exactly is the Integrated Milk Price, and how does it affect farmers?
**FrieslandCampina Representative:** The Integrated Milk Price is essentially the total guaranteed price we offer to our dairy farmers. For our current season, this price is set at 58.21 euros per 100 kilograms of milk. This pricing applies to significant deliveries of milk annually, which means that farmers can count on a stable income based on these figures, allowing them to plan and invest in their operations better.
**Interviewer:** That’s quite a substantial commitment. What do you say to consumers who might be concerned about rising milk prices impacting their grocery bills?
**FrieslandCampina Representative:** We understand the concerns of consumers. While price increases can be frustrating, it’s important to note that these adjustments ensure that dairy farmers can maintain sustainable practices, pay their employees, and continue to deliver quality products. Our farmers work hard to produce milk that meets consumer demands, and those factors ultimately affect the pricing.
**Interviewer:** Speaking of quality, I see that organic milk prices are also on the rise. Can you elaborate on that?
**FrieslandCampina Representative:** Absolutely! The guaranteed price for organic farm milk has risen by 1.25 euros, bringing it to 61.75 euros per 100 kilograms. This increase reflects the growing demand for organic products and the higher costs associated with organic farming practices. Consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the benefits of organic milk, which is why we want our organic dairy farmers to also receive fair compensation.
**Interviewer:** What does the future hold? Are there any expectations for further price adjustments down the line?
**FrieslandCampina Representative:** It’s difficult to predict with certainty, as milk prices are influenced by various factors, including global supply and demand, feed costs, and environmental conditions.
