According to the DCA Farmgate Milk Price Calculator, the standard milk price in the Netherlands amounts to a base level of €49.58 per 100 kilos. In practice, an additional 60 cents is added for various items that are also included in Arla's standard package. Additional supplements can amount to up to €3.60.
