Berglandmilch Dairy: Farm Pickup Fee for Farmers Abolished

The farm collection fee apparently dates back to a time when many dairy farmers still brought milk cans to a collection point from which the dairy then collected the milk. However, farm collection has now become the norm, according to the dairy. The limit to be able to request a farm collection is 75,000 liters of milk per year.

Farm Collection Fee Dropped: "A Signal of Appreciation and Future Planning"

Berglandmilch pointed out the savings for the dairy farmers. The farm collection fee was a significant cost factor, "in an industry where every euro of value creation is hard-earned". Stefan Lindner, chairman of Berglandmilch, stated that the relief for the companies is a "signal of appreciation and future planning".

There is currently high price pressure in the Austrian dairy industry. For example, the supermarket chain Spar and the Lower Austrian dairy NÖM have not been able to agree on new prices for months, and in Carinthia several large dairy farmers threatened to switch from Kärntnermilch to Berglandmilch.
