Dairy farmers demand Tamil Nadu government to hike procurement prices

-The Hindu

Dependence on private sector is on the rise, they say

Channai: Farmers supplying milk to the Tamil Nadu Cooperative Milk Producers Federation (Aavin) have urged the State government to increase procurement prices.

Citing the example of another cooperative, Amul, which has recently hiked selling price of milk by 2 per litre, M.G. Rajendran of the Tamil Nadu Milk Producers Welfare Association said farmers in Gujarat, where Amul is based out of, would get an additional 1.50 per litre due to the hike.

“The prices of cattle feed and other inputs for milk production have increased manifold. We spend around 40 a litre but get much lesser than what is spent. Since farmers get cash rather quickly, many continue to have milch animals. It has been over 30 months since the last hike,” he said. The quantity of milk that Aavin gets has also come down over the last month or so, he added.
