OMFED Raises Milk Prices and Procurement Rates in Odisha by Rs 4 Per Litre

The Odisha State Cooperative Milk Producers' Federation (OMFED) has increased milk prices by Rs 4 per litre due to rising processing and transportation costs. Prices for toned, premium, gold premium, and gold premium plus milk have been revised, effective Sunday. Procurement prices for cow and buffalo milk have also been raised to benefit farmers. Fisheries and Animal Resources Development Minister Gokulananda Mallik assured that quality will be maintained and noted that Omfed's prices remain lower than other brands.
