Czech milk farmers concerned about scrapping of milk quotas

Czech famers are increasingly concerned about the planned scrapping of milk quotas for European farmers as of April 2015, and the dramatic fall in milk prices that the step is likely to bring, Czech Television reports. Czech milk producers have already had to lower the price of milk by one crown per liter as a result of the EU-Russia sanctions and small and medium dairy producers fear that a milk glut in Europe would force them out of the market. According to Czech Television the Czech Agriculture Ministry is preparing some form of compensation but no details have yet been released.
