Dairy brokers · Weert, the Netherlands
Butter, cheese, powder and liquids — brokered daily, analysed weekly. Every price level we publish comes from a bid or an offer we actually worked.
The latest from the desk
Last week the market found a bit of stability. After lower trades on cheese, the cheese market traded slowly up, although a real rally remains absent. Butter prices did dip a bit further, although at the start of this week we see some strength on the back end of the curve. And on powder, our bullish feeling just doesn't go away — and now we can find some confirmation in the market as well.
Last week was bearish across the board — every product we broker leaned the wrong way. Powders lost more momentum, cheese slipped well below €3,000 for some products, and butter continues to impress with just how much keeps showing up. Supply, supply, supply.
Last week was again a bit of a bearish week for the entire dairy industry. With cream prices under pressure and milk intake still strong, we keep seeing a market that has more supply than demand. Butter prices took another step lower, cheese prices cracked, and the powder market gave back a bit of its gains again.
Last week was a strange week from our side. With relatively low activity and a lot of customers on the move due to Eucolait, activity came as quickly as it went away again. Tuesday's GDT put the market on hold, but when the results came out, a bit of downward trading occurred. The same went for Eucolait.
Traded prices
Every month, the volume-weighted average of the trades we executed — not indications, not a survey. The shaded band is the monthly high to low, and the bars along the bottom are the volume behind each point.
Trades delivering within three months of the contract date — the prompt market.
Months with fewer than two trades are left out rather than drawn as a confident point on a market that barely traded.
How we work
We publish the levels we are actually working — with volume, origin and incoterms attached. If we could not place it, we say so. A number without a trade behind it is a guess, and the market has enough of those.
Butter, cheese and powder each get their own broker, not a generalist with a price list. You always know whose phone to ring, and they know your book before you explain it.
Every week, a full read on all three commodities: what traded, where the spread sits, and what we would do about it. Long form, because the market is not a headline.
What we broker
Lactic, sweet cream, whey and organic — the fat side of the book.
Gouda, Edam, mozzarella and cheddar, spot and contract.
SMP, WMP, buttermilk and whey — where export credentials price the product.
Raw milk, skimmed milk concentrate and cream — the fastest clock we trade.

What we are for
Get Fair Dairy exists because the value in dairy leaks out between the farm and the shelf. Three things we push on, every deal.
Less cost in the chain means more stays with the farmers, the processors and the people handling the product.
Fewer unnecessary product movements. Better routing is cheaper and it is a smaller footprint.
A broker you trust is a market you no longer have to watch minute by minute.
