Milk price under pressure: Dairies see farmers’ existence threatened


Agriculture has not only miscalculated when it comes to potatoes. In addition to mountains of potatoes that exceed demand and storage capacity, farmers also deliver more milk than the market can bear.

Austria provided six percent more milk in January and February than in the previous year. At times an additional tenth flowed into trade from other countries.
