Yesterday at Intermarché the price of a liter of semi-skimmed organic milk of the brand of the distributor was 1,10 euros ..... is the price sold by this charming gentleman and his machines that at least offers him a full fee.

I dream of this machine me : Mrgreen: : Mrgreen: : Mrgreen: : Mrgreen:

on our side, fruits and vegetables, dairy products and meat bonies, come directly from the farm, for the rest, it makes run the mills or other organic shops (less km, otherwise I go not!) but always is- it we even start sometimes to doubt the coherence of our AMAP who started selling bananas! Since when do we produce bananas in Alsace?

indeed, speculation leads us to a development contrary to common sense, do people realize that they discredit their work in the eyes of consumers who trust them?

No, greed takes over, we don't care about the people we starve, to eat like vultures. And to think that they call you "my friend"!

I saw a Latteria in real life yesterday at the agricultural fair of libramont :

She was not working not against ...

I do not understand that it does not interest more farmer since it would solve, in part, their (unacceptable) profitability problems ...

Profitable? to have !

1) Do not be fooled, most consumers buy milk by making their other purchases ... Now, it takes a lot of customers to depreciate this beautiful machine.
2) And as soon as you make direct sales, hello (expensive) sanitary controls, traceability, cold chain, tax)

And selling at a loss is profitable, perhaps?

Between the back margins of the big distribution (lobby), the ever increasing loads (related to oil, standards ...) and the customer who wants prices always lower ... there is no big room for maneuver for the dairy ...

If not direct sales or processing and direct sales or with few intermediaries on the farm ...

1) Yes, that's why these machines are installed in the car parks of supermarkets (those who tolerate them): it's more than 15 years that it is used in Italy, pkoi not at home then? We are more lobbysed than Italians ???

2) what is the difference with the classic sale? There is also a traceability and a chain of cold to respect ... the only contrait is to fill every X day the machine with fresh milk ... it has obviously a circuit fridge!

ps: thanks pear!

1) a market study should be done: it should be sharply better or cheaper for consumers to lose their habits. (and I'm bad judge, I hate milk since I have 6 years old)

2) The difference with the classic sale is a question of scale and price control per liter.

Well, I think this farmer made his accounts no?

Now it's not because it works well in Italy that it will necessarily work in France and Belgium ... the consumer psychology is to be taken into account ...
