06 May 2020 --- Divisive dairy demonstrations are taking place tomorrow across Europe as producers protest against the European Commission’s “misguided” way of mitigating the milk crisis. Instead of coordinated production cuts at EU level to rebalance oversupply in the market and mitigate coronavirus-related market volatility, the EC is offering private storage subsidies to producers to alleviate price pressures on producers who could then save quantities of milk powder, butter and cheese. This has angered some in the sector leading to a series of protests which will see milk powder sprayed across fields as a “symbolic” action. However, others have differing views, flagging the food waste element of these types of actions.
