Dairy farmers from across Europe will be travelling to Germany this week to protest against milk prices not covering costs of production and to demand more flexibility in the milk supply chain.

European Milk Board (EMB) member organisation BDM (Bundesverband Deutscher Milchviehhalter) is organising the demonstration in Berchtesgaden, Upper Bavaria, from 10 to 12 April.

Farmers will journey in convoys of tractors for the protests, which coincide with a meeting of Germany's federal and regional ministers for agriculture
