Tamil Nadu Dairy Farmers Disappointed by Milk Procurement Price Increase
Tamil Nadu dairy farmers have expressed disappointment over the recent milk procurement price hike announced by Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay, stating the increase of Re.1 per litre plus incentives is insufficient to cover rising production costs. The Tamil Nadu Milk Producers' Welfare Association warned of stopping milk supply to Aavin from August 24 unless the price is raised to ₹44 per litre, as private dairies offer higher rates. Farmers also cited past price reductions and rising input costs affecting cooperative viability and milk quality supply.
