Swiss government agrees

The Swiss government has declared the standard agreement of Branch Organization Milk (BO Milch) to be generally binding. Swiss producers and processors must, from 1 January 2018, agree in writing on delivery quantities and milk prices. This regulation applies to the period from 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2021.

Dairy buyers are required to announce terms of quantity and price for the coming month by the 20th day of each month. Mandatory written milk purchase contracts stipulate, which quantities of milk go into which utilisation.

The dairies must report the quantities purchased and sold per segment to TSM Treuhand on a monthly basis.
