In September, the value of raw milk reached a significant high of 53.7 cents/kg, marking a 10.3% increase from the previous month and an 18.7 cents/kg increase from the same period in the previous year. This increase is attributed to lower milk supplies and a decrease in the ingredient content, particularly milk fat. As a result, butter production has become more difficult and its price has increased. Similarly, the price of skimmed milk powder has also seen a significant rise. The value of the raw material from Cologne, which is based on the sales revenue or prices of butter and skimmed milk powder on the Kempten stock exchange, is used to indicate the utilization of milk fat and milk protein contained in the raw milk and is a key indicator of the formation of standard prices for dairy products.
