Bolivian Dairy Farmers Seek 40% Milk Price Increase
Bolivian dairy producers are proposing a 40% increase in the price of milk as diesel costs rise. The proposal is linked to higher expenses across farm operations.
Dairy producers in Bolivia have proposed raising the price of milk by 40% following an increase in the cost of diesel.
According to the producers, more expensive fuel has increased the cost of sowing activities on farms.
Diesel costs have also raised expenses for maintaining pasture areas used in dairy production.
Raúl Eggers, a former president of the dairy association Cerma, said that the price of milk needs to be adjusted to offset the higher production costs.
The proposal concerns compensation for increased farm expenses associated with fuel, sowing and pasture maintenance. The information provided does not specify the current milk price, the proposed price per litre, or a timetable for any adjustment.
