Protest against Danone bad EU 40,000 bankrupt dairy farmers pour milk

Many women fantasize that they can soak a large tub of milk bath whitening every day.　　If on September 16, you happen to come to the southern Belgian town of Sinai, then congratulations, good luck, thousand tons tons of milk ah, the true milk Bath carnival waiting for you, hahaha, not money! This day, the Belgian dairy farmers gathered together to dump 3 million litres of milk in the pasture, protesting against the low price of milk.　　The milk is equivalent to the amount of milk produced by the local dairy farmers, worth more than 1.6 million dollars a day.　　Milk farmers admit that dumping milk is madness, but it is also a disgrace to the European Union, who want to express their desperation through such demonstrations.　　Farmers in France, Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands refused to send milk to stop lorries from moving, preferring to dump the milk or give it away to the public for free. The four countries accounted for more than 70% of EU milk production. But for these dairy farmers, the price is now not even half the cost of milk, the more the output of the loss is greater.　　In the northwestern French town of Tirco, for example, in 1985, he began to engage in dairy farming work, currently operating 35 hectares of pasture cattle production, annual output of milk up to 280,000 liters.　　The price of fresh milk per ton this year is € 262 to € 280, with production costing as much as € 260, which is still not a labor expense. "The maximum of 280 euros per ton of fresh milk, the new dairy farmers do not even have a loan, who would like to enter the dairy farming this line?"　　"he said. For a long time, the European Union dairy farming industry was protected by the common agricultural policy, but the decision of the EU Agriculture Council of Ministers at the end of 2008 completely changed the situation.　　The meeting decided that the EU would no longer decide on agricultural subsidies in the future, and that subsidies for agriculture would gradually be reduced; The meeting also decided that the EU would gradually increase its milk production quotas until the end of March 2015. The price of milk in the European Union continued to plummet, triggering a protest by multinational dairy farmers.　　French Agriculture Minister Maire September 15 words, the dairy farmers ' protests to the climax. "The best answer for dairy farmers is to start restructuring the EU milk market rather than providing more subsidies," he said forcefully. September 16, the EU's 16-country Agriculture minister believes that the EU must take new measures to rescue the milk industry.　　But this did not receive the support of the other 11 countries in the EU, the same day the EU agriculture ministers meeting on this issue did not make progress.　　As early as May this year, as farmers protested, they used tractors to pull milk barrels and cows, blocking more than 80 dairy-processing plants and pouring a lot of milk and piles of manure at the milk factory door.　　Dairy farmers buy milk at lower prices than raw materials, but are furious at selling milk products such as yogurt and cheese at the original price. "Some companies in the dairy industry take profits not only from dairy farmers but also from consumers. Christopher Sabert, the leader of the Association of Dairy farmers in Nantes, said with indignation. He called for a fair share of the milk industry among producers, processors and distributorsProfit。　　In the price of fresh milk, the French government has no say, mainly by retailers, dairy factories and dairy farmers in consultation to determine, and dairy farmers are in a clear passive position.　　As we all know, Danone Group is the French food giant, but also the French milk giant, by the dairy farmers "condemnation" object is very clear.　　What does Danone think about milk prices? September 15, the French food giant said that because of rising milk prices, this year its operating costs will increase by 290 million euros, the next year is expected to increase the scale of the cost of roughly equivalent. Danone has raised the price of yogurt by 10% per cent in response to a drop in milk supplies and a rapid rise in prices, saying it is likely to continue to impose a price hike.
