Fifty of the 68 Prolek farmers will supply their milk to Luxlait from 1 April 2027. The Luxembourg dairy producer confirmed as much in a letter on Wednesday.
The corresponding contract between the farmers and the company Solarec, in which Luxlait is a shareholder, was signed on Wednesday.
A solution has been found that will protect the dairy farmers and their families, though it also carries costs and risks for Luxlait.
The lasting success of the solution, Luxlait pointed out, will depend on the capacity of the Luxembourg market to maintain its own food and agricultural sector.
Around five months ago, the French company Lactalis, which also owns EKABE, announced that it would no longer collect milk from the 68 Prolek farmers after 31 March 2027.
