Liter of milk 20 cents more expensive and pay them directly to farmers

Litre de lait 20 centimes + cher et les verser directement aux agriculteurs

Guest

Hello,

I'm one of those people who like to pay their own way for the sake of respect for others, and I don't like to reduce the quality of life of others in order to get a small discount on a product. I'd like to see a one-liter (or two-liter, like M-Budgets) carton of milk 20 centimes more expensive (with those 20 centimes going directly to Swiss farmers), just as is done for certain eco-friendly products.

As far as I'm concerned, the drop in the price of milk is to the detriment of people who work. Today it's forbidden to buy milk directly from farms, so I can't find anywhere to buy my liter of milk in accordance with my principles. I'm not looking for the cheapest products, I'm looking for products that respect the workers who produce them.

My idea isn't to raise the price of milk to every penny, but to create a kind of label in support of our farmers. This will enable those who want to pay less for their milk to do so, and those who want to support our farmers to do so too. :-)

I'd just like to make it clear that I'm talking about an idea for a label where Migros would buy the milk directly for 20 centimes more, not where Migros would buy a liter of milk at the same price as at present and pay 15 centimes (keeping 5 centimes for expenses).

I support this idea too!

We should create a line of milk bricks paid at a fair price for Swiss producers.

Thank you for taking this idea seriously.

I couldn't agree more.

What about "Valais" milk?
Does the producer receive his share?

I vote for
10ct would be quite a lot when you consider what the farmer gets for his milk.

Thank you migipedia for giving me an answer about "Valais" milk!

Totally agree! 20 ct is nothing for us but makes all the difference for the producers!

If such a label existed, I wouldn't hesitate to buy this product and I'm sure my friends and family would too, especially if the product was organic!

An excellent idea!

And if the problem is the price of the carton, why not set up a system of milk dispensers, with bonded glass bottles?

It's very organic and would develop the concept of sustainable ecology.

Very good idea, it's already done elsewhere, the milk dispenser.

Bravo for this proposal! What's the situation today? What is Migros' position?
I've just learned that Migros has refused a 3 ct./L price increase requested by the producers, even though the competition seems to have accepted it. I'm deeply disappointed.
Although I would like to see a general increase in the price paid to producers, I also support the idea of a fair trade label on Swiss dairy products, as is done for foreign products.
For me, it's a question of respect for producers, as well as maintaining our overall quality of life in Switzerland.
I invite anyone who agrees with this opinion to post a message on this forum or vote for this proposal (respecting Migipedia rules).
(I would like to point out that I am not a farmer and do not earn any income from milk production).
