SANTANDER, 23 (EUROPA PRESS)

commercial distribution companies Carrefour and Mercadona are committed to the Government of Cantabria, and after recent protests by farmers, not to use milk as a product claim.

This was announced Wednesday at a press conference the Minister of Rural Development, Livestock, Fisheries and Biodiversity, Jesús Oria, who explained that on Tuesday he met with the directors of both commercial areas, which transmitted this commitment.

In his view, this agreement constitutes an "important step" after the protests that have taken place in recent weeks, the farmers, who were convened by the Platform for milk to bring their complaints to several shopping centers in Santander and Torrelavega, where they emptied the shelves of milk, filled shopping carts with bricks and bottles, in their view, had a sale price not cover production costs and abandoned them in the checkout lanes.

Among others, the protests have taken place in the Eights of Torrelavega Carrefour and the French chain has at El Alisal, Santander, as well as in several Mercadona, DIA and Lidl.

At its meeting, and as explained by counsel to questions of journalists, representatives of Mercadona and Carrefour claimed that "under no circumstances" milk had been sold - and they will do it - below cost of production.

also transmitted to the Minister their views on milk prices, they said, "do not depend on them," just try "to give consumers cheap."

The director general of Livestock, Ismael Esparza, who was also present at the press conference and the previous day's meeting, said that representatives of these two large areas have complained that the producers are going to protest business by the price of milk, depending on the sector considered.

On the other hand, has warned that this is a time the year which was "key" to the producers because he has said, in spring tends to drop the price paid to farmers for milk.

however, noted that this year "appears" that prices "will remain," or even can go "up."

understand the position of farmers and their complaint of low milk prices at source. I do not know who is to blame or what is happening, but I as a consumer and large family, I am interested to get milk at the lowest price possible, provided they do not compromise quality.

remember years ago I read an article comparing the OCU milk of different brands, some well known and others not. The result was that they all had a similar quality. There was little difference in quality, while price differences were striking.
I do not think this has changed in terms of quality, and there are wide differences in prices between brands. So why not buy the cheapest?.

hypermarkets do not know if some brands are selling milk below cost price, but we do not cheat customers in many other articles, they could sell cheaper than what they do?. So my conclusion is: profit by the cheap milk while we can.
