The course at the national and international barley just blaze. He went about 24 hours of 280 Dt / t (about 215 U.S. $ / tonne) to 470 Dt / t (about 362 U.S. $ / tonne), an increase of 68%. This new price is still below the international price, which reached the 793 Dt / t (about 610 U.S. $ / ton) delivered to the port of Tunis.
The first impact of this outbreak was an increase of 40 Dt / t (about 31 U.S. $ / tonne) of the selling price of compound feed for dairy cattle. This increase translates into an increased cost of milk production by 20 Dt / tonne.
This outbreak once again disrupt a production system already weakened by recent increases in food prices and energy. This system could not find his balance despite a substantial increase in sales prices at the producer (+20% compared to the guaranteed minimum price applied during the first quarter of 2007). But despite this increase in production costs in several important milk basins are not covered by the tariffs.
The time would it not be appropriate for that governments save an entire sector and finally announced the liberalization of prices for drinking milk?
