Interprofessional agreement for fodder seeds: the indicative liquidation price for the multiplication of alfalfa seed in certified nature for the 2024 campaign is indicated.
On the occasion of its last meeting, the Interprofessional Committee which operates within the framework of the national framework agreement for the production of fodder essence seeds indicated in €2.70/kg the liquidation guidance price for the 2024 campaign for the Certified wild alfalfa seed for clean product (0% processing loss).
“As required, the Economic Committee called upon to coordinate the implementation of the Interprofessional Agreement for fodder seeds was able to carry out its task in full and unanimous agreement and identified for the 2024 campaign the indicative liquidation price of alfalfa seed in certified nature with 0% drop – he underlined Alessandro LualdiPresident of COAMS, the Consortium of Farmers’ Seed Multipliers’ Organizations and Coordinator of the Committee. This is an important task that the Committee is called upon to carry out by April of each year, with a double meaning for agricultural producers. The liquidation guidance price in fact represents an element of protection for agricultural producers who can free themselves from the contractual commitment defined with the seed company if market conditions are not satisfactory. A further guarantee for the agricultural company derives from the fact that the identified price also represents the minimum price that is recognized in the event that the seed company does not fulfill its obligation to withdraw the entire production obtained” added Lualdi.
“The result achieved by the Committee takes on greater value if we remember the campaign we have just left behind, characterized by a series of exceptional events that have had a strong impact on the sector, putting both the agricultural and industrial sectors to the test: the identification of the liquidation guidance price linked to the actual company production costs demonstrates the sector’s willingness to continue to commit, improving itself to confirm the global leadership position painstakingly achieved in recent years” concluded Lualdi.
