FrieslandCampina guaranteed price farm milk April 2024: 46.75 euros
In April the FrieslandCampina guaranteed price for farm milk will increase by 0.25 euros to 46.75 euros per 100 kilogrammes compared to last months. This increase is entirely attributable to a positive correction due to an underestimation of reference prices in the previous period. It is expected that the sharp drop in basic dairy prices will lead to lower reference prices for farm milk.
The average guaranteed price for farm milk for 2024 up to and including April is 46.00 euros per 100 kilogrammes of milk.
The FrieslandCampina guaranteed price for farm milk is paid out in the milk components: protein and fat, in a fixed ratio of 6:4.

Guaranteed price
The guaranteed price is the price that the company guarantees to pay member dairy farmers for the farm milk they supply. The guaranteed price reflects the average farm milk price to be paid by a number of dairy companies in northwestern Europe, including supplementary payments, registered reservations, seasonal supplements, quantity supplements, maximum quality supplements, and cooperative supplements or charges.
Based on the monthly guaranteed price, a member dairy farmer receives milk money. The milk money is based on the quantity and protein, fat and lactose content of the milk supplied by the member farmer. The difference between guaranteed price and milk money arises from the offsetting of fixed costs and supplements or charges. In 2024, the fixed costs of regular farms are 0.19 euro per 100 kilogrammes of farm milk supplied.
