In a January 2019 interview, Ingo Müller, CEO and Board Spokesperson of DMK Deutsches Milchkontor, discussed market volatility following the end of the EU milk quota. Müller stated that the industry, rather than relying solely on policy, must work to make itself more crisis-resistant. He described an ongoing process in which various industry associations are independently developing positions on sustainability, research and development, and quantity control during milk price crises, with the goal of aligning these positions to present a unified stance to policymakers and NGOs. Müller also addressed quality standards and new demands on producers. He asserted that German dairy products already meet high production and monitoring standards, but argued that new requirements related to animal welfare or herbicide use must be accompanied by compensation for farmers. He expressed the view that the entire value chain should communicate that such improvements come with costs that need to be recognized and remunerated.
