The School Milk and School Fruit Scheme has become unprofitable for many suppliers

In order to promote the development of healthy eating and eating habits of children, today, August 10, the application for the program “Milk and Fruit for School” in the 2020/2021 school year begins.

Free milk, fruit and vegetables are available to thousands of children, but it is up to educational institutions to choose and agree with product suppliers and support applicants to implement the program in their own institution.

Meanwhile, the council of the Council for Cooperation of Agricultural Organizations (LOSP) acknowledges to TV3 News that many large suppliers may not participate in the program this year because the payment has become unprofitable.

The Rural Support Service (RSS) informs that applications for participation in the support program “Milk and School Fruit” in the 2020/2021 school year will be available until September 10 of this year.

The available funding for the supply and distribution of milk is 2.765 million euros, and for the supply and distribution of fruit and vegetables – 1.519 million euros.
