Why were milk prices increased?
GCMMF has said that milk prices have been increased due to increase in milk production cost. The federation’s member co-operatives have also increased the price given to farmers by 6-8% in a year.
The Federation says that as per its policy, out of every rupee paid by consumers for milk and milk products, about 80 paise goes to the milk producers. In such a situation, the increase in prices will help our milk producers in maintaining milk prices and encourage them to produce more milk.
