6 29 current prices current prices in the protectorate in the adjacent empire 14. ANIMAL FETT a/ Raw fat Consumer price RM 1.68/kg Silesia RM 1.70/Kg Sudetenland RM 1.52/kg Ostmark RM 1.60/kg The current raw fat consumer price in itself should not exceed 1.56 RM/kg/. The higher price is only due to the higher directing costs of the fat collection companies. A further reduction than to L.68 RM/kg/ is currently not possible. It remains with this price even after the opening of the customs border. b/ Pig lard Consumer price RM 2.16/kg/ Sudetenland RM 2,-/kg Silesia RM2,-/ kg Ostmark RM 1,96/kg A further reduction cannot be carried out for the same reasons as under a/. The price of 2,l6 RM corresponds to the Reich average price for Schmalz. 15. A/Margarine Consumer price RM 1,66/kg/Prague Reich IRM 1,96/kg Sudetenland After the abolition of customs frontiers and in the case of uniform management of raw materials, it is absolutely necessary to align the price with the rich price, especially since the fat content of the reihoe, which amounts to -,5o RM/kg/, is used. In the case of fixing of the price of roioh, the introduction of the full fat tax is not even possible in the eye. zeZtenur 3 K.Fettereise can be introduced. b/ artificial cooking fat Differently above consumer price RM 1,50/kg/Prague/ the margarine price 58285. Artificial cooking fat will not be consumed in the near future due to a lack of raw materials. 16. MILK (md miman brama hnlage e Drinking milk Consumer price = ¿l9_b:=122_RM/l Vienna RM -.30/1 /3% Fat content/ Sudetenl.RM -.20 b. -.26 SilesianRM -.22 b. The Food and Agriculture Group calls for the same milk price as it is in the Sudetenland, i.e. -22 b. -26 RM/l/, in three price levels. Such an increase should not be bearable at the moment and, in the opinion of the Group, not be necessary either. If milk prices were to be fixed from -22 to -24 RM/l, it would be possible to give the producer an increase of about 11.4 Pfennig per litre, while the increase to -22 b. -26 RM could allow the producer to increase by 1.8 Pfenzig. In the opinion of the Group, price formation is not required to raise prices such as those proposed by the Nutrition Group, since the farmer in the Protectorate would then receive a higher milk producer price than, for example, in the Ostmark and Silesia. //
