Karnataka Milk Unions Request Rs 8-10 Price Increase for Nandini Milk
Karnataka's cooperative milk producers' unions have requested Chief Minister D K Shivakumar to increase Nandini milk procurement and retail prices by Rs 8-10 per litre, citing rising costs of cattle feed, fodder, medicines, and drought-related challenges. Shivakumar has asked officials to compile detailed data on production costs, milk quantities, and prices in Karnataka and neighboring states. Currently, Karnataka's milk prices are lower than those in Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Maharashtra, and Tamil Nadu, while private dairies are increasing prices amid competition for milk procurement.
