Tamil Nadu Raises Aavin Milk Procurement Price to Support Farmers
The Tamil Nadu government, led by Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay, announced an increase in Aavin's milk procurement price from ₹38 to ₹44 per litre, aiming to support farmers and boost cooperative milk procurement. Farmers and milk producers welcomed the hike, urging further price adjustments for buffalo and cow milk based on quality standards. Officials noted the price rise may attract farmers back from private dairies, though they cautioned that retail milk prices might also need to increase accordingly.
