The price of milk almost stable
A retired couple observes a drop in “yogurts”. A mother of four, on the other hand, sees no change. “I feel like it has increased again,” she says. The price of milk is almost stable, but branded butter has fallen by 1.3%. These are the first effects of negotiations between large retailers and manufacturers, according to Daniel Ducrocq, European distribution director at NielsenIQ. “It always takes a little time before it really has an impact on prices in stores,” he explains.
