Successful general assembly of the Koop MV: New growth for dairy farmers

Agriculture plays a central role in the Emlichheim region, and the importance of milk production is underlined again by the latest developments in the cooperative milk exploitation of Emlichheim-Laarwald-Wielsum eG (KOOP MV). Thanks to a stable financial year 2023 and future -oriented partnerships, the cooperative was able to increase the amount of milk despite a decline in the income, which benefits dairy farmers.

reinforcement by new partnerships

An important step for the Koop MV is the strategic partnership with the Dutch dairy Vreugdenhil Dairy Foods, which will take part of the raw milk from 2025. This is realized as an additional marketing partner in addition to the existing cooperation with Fude+Serrahn. This innovation is not only a positive signal for the members of the KOOP MV, but also shows the dynamic development on the milk market.

results of the 2023 financial year

The sales and sales figures were presented by Managing Director Albert Weersmann and show that the cooperative was able to deliver a total of 137 million liters of raw milk in 2023. Despite a decline in total nominal sales by almost 10 million euros to around 63 million euros, the accounting situation of the KOOP MV remains stable. The healthy structures and the cooperative way of working enable members to pay an additional payment due to the sustainable added value in the cooperative.

The importance of local agriculture for the municipality

The current changes and planning clearly show how important agriculture is for the local community. The Koop MV is planning a new building in the commercial area on the "Botterdiek", which is targeted for 2026. This will not only support the logistics of the cooperative, but also create new jobs and thereby strengthen the local economy.

recognition of the best producers

The cooperative community also distinguishes its best businesses. The ten best milk producers were honored at the recent general assembly, with Wilhelm Kamphuis from Wilsum again took first place in quality milk producers. This appreciation strengthens cohesion among the farmers and motivates to increase the continuous quality of quality.

important elections and the future of the Koop MV

The course of the general assembly ended with the confirmation of the board members, which indicates a stable leadership. The re -election of Gerhard Reinink and the other members of the Supervisory Board is a positive sign and shows the trust of the members in the current leadership. This will also be crucial to successfully master the challenges of the coming years, especially in a market that is subject to constant changes.

Overall, developments in the Koop MV not only reflect the strength of the regional dairy industry, but also the tireless use of farmers and employees who form the basis for the positive development in the community.
