Campina stimulates conversion to organic production
From now on Campina farmers in the Netherlands who convert to organic dairy farming can count on a financial compensation during the two-year long conversion period. During this time production is converted to organic methods but the milk cannot as yet be sold as organic. By means of the financial compensation, Campina anticipates stimulating dairy farmers to convert from standard to organic production. With more than one hundred organic dairy farmers, Campina is the largest processor of organic milk in the Netherlands. Sales of organic dairy are growing steadily and Campina is therefore in need of extra supplies.
