Dairy farmers protest in Brussels demanding a permanent crisis instrument that prevents surpluses of milk powder on the dairy market.
Farmers are to be paid an extra 2c/kg of milk if during the period from January 1 to February 11, 2016 they supply less milk.
Protests by dairy farmers all over Europe are highlighting the challenges facing milk producers says the EMB.
The average production costs in Germany were 45.64c/kg milk, according to the European Milk Board (EMB), which says that only 68% of this is covered by current milk prices.
The new study on German dairy farmers production costs shows that in October 2014 production costs in Germany amounted to an average of 41.62 c/kg milk.
There will be a catastrophe in the EU milk market unless new crisis instruments are applied, according to the European Milk Board.
