Karnataka Milk Price Hike Prompts Calls for KMF Reforms and Increased Support
Karnataka's recent milk and curd price hike, defended by D.K. Suresh of the Bengaluru Milk Union, addresses rising production costs and aims to prevent farmers from abandoning dairy farming. Farmers now receive ₹42 per litre plus a ₹5 incentive, with procurement increasing by about 10 lakh litres. Meanwhile, farmers demand reforms in the Karnataka Milk Federation, urging adoption of the Amul model to reduce political interference, improve infrastructure, and enhance animal health services to boost milk production and farmer welfare.
