Maharashtra Milk Prices Increase by Rs 2 Per Litre Amid Rising Production Costs
Milk prices in Maharashtra are set to rise by Rs 2 per litre from August 11, affecting both cow and buffalo milk. The increase, announced by the Milk Producers and Processors Welfare Association and cooperatives like Gokul, reflects higher procurement costs for farmers and rising expenses in transportation, packaging, and cattle feed. While retail prices for buffalo milk will increase, cow milk prices remain unchanged in some areas. Businesses such as tea shops and dairy retailers anticipate challenges in managing costs and customer reactions.
