German farmers protest low butter prices at discount stores

n-tv.de (German)

German farmers protested at discounter locations due to historically low butter prices, warning of consequences for their businesses. The price of a 250-gram butter pack from discount store private labels has fallen below one Euro, driven by a cheaper global milk market and increased supply. Farmers accuse retailers of "dumping" butter, while discounters state the price reduction is a necessary response to market conditions and an oversupply of raw milk.
