“My eyes are going crazy!” said a pensioner in Albert Plzeň, looking at the price with butter for 65 crowns. “Unless they moved him here and not for something else, something else…,” he thought, “no!”
Better pay equals more expensive butter!

Others also pick up a cube of butter from a domestic source on credit. And they are making more decisions than ever before. Should they buy or not? Will the price go up? Maybe up to a hundred? “That would be sky high,” says a man in overalls, who prefers to buy vegetable shortening.
Agricultural analyst Petr Havel explains the problem to ParlamentníListy.cz: “It will definitely not reach the limit of one hundred crowns for butter,” emphasizing possible hotheads, “how is it possible for prices to rise like this? It’s really quite simple. The prices of everything go up and wages go up and then prices go up again and wages go up again, and so it goes on. Production costs are increasing. And there are many of these items. The first thing is that it has been accumulating for several months, in fact over a year, and the basic input prices of milk have been going up. “
Prices from farmers, according to Havel, “…very small, they are pennies per month, but they are still growing. So we have a higher price of the basic raw material. Then there’s what everyone says – and it’s true – less milk fat during the summer months. This is not a new thing, it happens every year. The problem is that the difference in fat this year is greater. I noted somewhere that it is one tenth of a hundred, but according to statistics, the difference compared to the rest of the year, when there is more fat, is currently around four-tenths of a hundred, and of course that will be seen in some way. A tithe will not appear. Then there is what people are not willing to feel, and yet it has an impact – although less and less than we would like, but wages are still rising. This means that labor costs for the production of anything, including food production, are rising. And as wages are increasing, labor costs are also higher, and this is reflected again in butter prices. Then there’s the residue of higher energy prices, which we have higher than before.”
We will pay more officers!
There are also said to be regulated components in play as of this year, “…which entrepreneurs have to pay , but certainly an important factor is the growing demands on food industries regarding several mandatory reports, for example about the carbon footprint, now there was the issue of deforestation, which was postponed to luckily, they have to add to it. It’s all a combination of reasons that go up, and in the case of butter, there’s extra fat. So butter grows more expensive than other foods,” explained Havel.
The producers also agree with this, as input prices are rising almost non-stop. “Someone has to take care of the cows, it’s always the same cycle, you work with live animals,” explained Jaroslav Šíma, head of the regional agricultural chamber. “But then you look around, there are more and more regulations with the whole crazy Green Deal. You know that, in time, we will also report on forests that are uprooted, even if we have done nothing. But the main thing is that they tell us that it will only affect small producers in the end. “
The market (not) for sure!
“Since the first month of this year, here in Osek in Rokycansk, the price has been CZK 11.28 per liter, and last month it was CZK 11.72. So that’s very little impact and growth. There is less butter, it has to rise. There is less milk in Europe, but we haven’t seen it yet. We’ll see, we’ll wait. And salaries? We haven’t raised them in two years, even if people are already talking. So anyone talking about an increase may be referring to the manufacturing industry, but certainly not to primary production.”
According to Šíma, we can still expect empty shelves. “Germany will pay more for the purchase, so the market will decide. After all, we wanted it that way and we want it, don’t we?’
“Even if the cows were milking the cocoa and it was purple like Milk, I would still buy some of that butter for Christmas,” said the young mother. “I don’t need to buy butter from Poland or some Belgian butter that has been frozen for years and is slowly reminiscing about Napoleon,” he said. “It probably won’t cost a cent . . .”
“I’ve got the money, so why don’t you buy something nice, don’t overspend for Christmas,” said the student. “Swear at grandma and then she’ll buy cats and dogs, sticks and balls and no she jumps at them. The main thing she’ll be interested in is what the discount will be, and if there weren’t labels, it would probably be the end of the world for them,” he says with disdain. . “Otherwise, I go to Germany, the price is half there,” he explains, but no one around listens to him.
Who is Peter Black for?
The president of the Trade and Tourism Association Tomáš Prouza strongly defends the prices of the chains in the media. According to him, the problem is in primary school production. The weather is also to blame, and that is why commodity prices are not falling and will not fall in the future. “As soon as the chain is seized, the price will not go down,” Pilsen agrarian Šíma has a clear different opinion. “Here you can see live the effects of supporting the smallest at the expense of the medium ones, let alone the big ones. How can a small local manufacturer undercut its big competitor? But most importantly – not many people can to have, so he sells from the garden or at the markets. That’s nice for the neighborhood, but what about supplying cities? And we’re back at food independence.. .”
The number of dairy cows continues to decrease, not only here, but also in Western Europe. “If we say everywhere that these non-ecological, bad cows are going down, the demand will also go down. And when you reduce production, you can’t also reduce prices.” They say we have to make a final decision. Are we going to prove the ecologists right and ‘kill even the last herds, not importing milk from Western Europe, but perhaps from South America, is this the solution?
Beyond the borders…
And when he came to Germany. For three euros you can buy amazingly delicious and really fresh Bavarian butter. Truly Irish to the core. Like here. All you have to do is play with the weight. As in the case of half butter, which costs the same as the first whole. Or with the ecological label, which has been selling perhaps the worst in recent months, and without events there would be almost no sales.
“Let’s not be afraid of a sharp increase,” the agricultural analyst Petr Havel calms the somewhat stormy waters. “Seasonal demand is normal, that it is higher. Both in relation to Christmas and Easter “After the holidays, sales go down again.” the other local cattle breeders. “Leave those gentlemen in collars and ankle boots here. But they must get up at least at three to be here in our place no later than half past five in the morning when the rooster crows…”
