Rewe/LKÖ: Milk Dispute: Rewe negotiates, LKÖ criticizes
Rewe and the Austrian Chamber of Agriculture (LKÖ) are currently in negotiations regarding the purchase price for milk.
While Rewe is offering a price increase of 1.5 cents per liter, the LKÖ is demanding an increase of 3 cents.
The LKÖ has criticized Rewe's offer as "insufficient" and has threatened to take further action if no agreement is reached.
The dispute between Rewe and the LKÖ is just one example of the ongoing tension between farmers and retailers over the price of milk.
Farmers have been arguing for years that they are not getting a fair price for their milk, while retailers have been reluctant to raise prices due to competition from discount stores.
The LKÖ has called on the government to intervene in the dispute and set a minimum price for milk.
However, the government has so far resisted these calls, arguing that it does not want to interfere in the free market.
The dispute between Rewe and the LKÖ is likely to continue for some time.
In the meantime, consumers may see the price of milk continue to rise.
