&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;As farmers take to dumping their milk on roads and stopping milk supply to urban areas, dairies blame the COVID-19 pandemic and the frequent lockdowns as the reason behind the recent price corrections.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Milk prices are again in the news and this time the low realisations at farmer ends have brought them on the streets. Dairy farmers in Maharashtra have started a series of protests from Monday against the low prices dairies are paying them at present. As farmers take to dumping their milk on roads and stopping milk supply to urban areas, dairies blame the COVID-19 pandemic and the frequent lockdowns as the reason behind the recent price corrections.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;A look into the problem and why a quick solution does not seem to be in the offing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;* How the COVID-19 pandemic has soured the dairy business&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Since the last week of April dairies in Maharashtra have started slashing procurement prices they pay to farmers for their milk. In May, dairies in Tamil Nadu had effected a similar cut in procurement prices with the Karnataka dairy unions also announcing price correction by Rs 2 per liter. In case of Maharashtra, farmers who were paid at the rate of Rs 30 per liter for their milk with 3.5 per cent fat and 8.5 per cent SNF (solid-not-fat) saw a steady decline in their realisations with dairies now paying between Rs 17-22.50 per liter. This steady decrease in their prices has led to the present protest with multiple farmer organisations taking to the streets. The opposition BJP in Maharashtra has also joined the fray with the party calling for state-wide agitation from August 1 in this regard.&lt;/p&gt;

This steady decrease in their prices has led to the present protest with multiple farmer organisations taking to the streets.

Dairy farmers in Maharashtra have started a series of protests from Monday against the low prices dairies are paying them at present. As farmers take to dumping their milk on roads and stopping milk supply to urban areas, dairies blame the COVID-19 pandemic and the frequent lockdowns as the reason behind the recent price corrections.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;A look into the problem and why a quick solution does not seem to be in the offing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;* How the COVID-19 pandemic has soured the dairy business&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Since the last week of April dairies in Maharashtra have started slashing procurement prices they pay to farmers for their milk. In May, dairies in Tamil Nadu had effected a similar cut in procurement prices with the Karnataka dairy unions also announcing price correction by Rs 2 per liter. In case of Maharashtra, farmers who were paid at the rate of Rs 30 per liter for their milk with 3.5 per cent fat and 8.5 per cent SNF (solid-not-fat) saw a steady decline in their realisations with dairies now paying between Rs 17-22.50 per liter. This steady decrease in their prices has led to the present protest with multiple farmer organisations taking to the streets. The opposition BJP in Maharashtra has also joined the fray with the party calling for state-wide agitation from August 1 in this regard.&lt;/p&gt;

Why dairy farmers in Maharashtra are dumping their milk -Parthasarathi Biswas

-The Indian Express As farmers take to dumping their milk on roads and stopping milk supply to urban areas, dairies blame the COVID-19 pandemic and the frequent lockdowns as the reason behind the recent price corrections. Milk prices are again in the news and this time the low realisations at farmer ends have brought them on the streets. Dairy farmers in Maharashtra have started a series of protests from Monday against the low prices dairies are paying them at present. As farmers take to dumping their milk on roads and stopping milk supply to urban areas, dairies blame the COVID-19 pandemic and the frequent lockdowns as the reason behind the recent price corrections. A look into the problem and why a quick solution does not seem to be in the offing. * How the COVID-19 pandemic has soured the dairy business Since the last week of April dairies in Maharashtra have started slashing procurement prices they pay to farmers for their milk. In May, dairies in Tamil Nadu had effected a similar cut in procurement prices with the Karnataka dairy unions also announcing price correction by Rs 2 per liter. In case of Maharashtra, farmers who were paid at the rate of Rs 30 per liter for their milk with 3.5 per cent fat and 8.5 per cent SNF (solid-not-fat) saw a steady decline in their realisations with dairies now paying between Rs 17-22.50 per liter.
