Dairy | Dairy farmers agree on milk demands

Movement wants 80 cents a litre at once, 1 euro by end of season.

An assembly of Sardinian dairy farmers on Tuesday agreed on their milk-price demands ahead of a meeting on the issue in Rome on Thursday.
The farmers have been protesting for weeks at how low the price of milk has dropped, dumping milk on the street on several occasions. The assembly of the movement of Sardinian dairy farmers agreed on the draft of a potential agreement that would see the price they get for milk going up at once to 80 cents a litre, compared to 72 cents proposed at talks with Agriculture Minister Gian Marco Centinaio on Saturday, and then rising to one euro a litre by the end of the season.
