Apply for a butter storage contract
Source: Zuständigkeitsfinder Schleswig-Holstein (Linie6Plus)
Service Description
If you produce or sell butter, you can receive aid for private storage during milk crises. To do so, apply to the Federal Office for Agriculture and Food (BLE) for a private storage contract.
The European Union (EU) can support agricultural market prices by granting private storage aid for butter. This can support you as a market participant in crises in the dairy sector.
Only when the EU Commission publishes a corresponding market regulation measure can you, as a trader or manufacturer of butter, apply to the Federal Office for Agriculture and Food (BLE) to conclude a storage contract for private storage. Storage over contractually agreed periods relieves the markets and stabilizes prices.
Detailed information on the general conditions can be found in the relevant announcement.
