Organic milk price reaches an average of 49.3 cents in October
In October 2017, the nationwide average organic milk price rose by 0.7 cents to 49.3 cents per kg of milk (net ex farm at 4.0% fat and 3.4% protein). In the north-central region it rose by 0.4 cents to 48.4 cents, in the south by 0.9 cents to 49.7 cents. Peak values are 50 cents and more. This is partly due to the fact that some dairies pay a special surcharge in winter. However, some have also increased by 0.5 to 1.5 cents due to market developments. Source: www.elite-magazin.de

34 million euros for Bavarian fruit growers
Lindau/Munich rm/jule The Bavarian cabinet has approved a multi-million aid programme for frost-damaged fruit growers on Lake Constance and in Franconia.

Martin Nüberlin, spokesman for the fruit growers from Lake Constance in Bavaria, is delighted with the good news.
