Bengaluru: More than one crore liters of milk have been produced in the state every day since June, and there will be no increase in milk prices for now, said Animal Husbandry Minister K. Venkatesh. Speaking at a press conference, he said that in April, the milk price was increased by Rs. 4 per liter, which is being given to milk producers.
65 lakh liters of milk are sold in the state, outside the state and abroad. He said that the remaining milk is being used to manufacture milk products.
There was a demand for a liter milk price of Rs. 10. However, keeping the interests of consumers in mind, the increase has been increased by Rs. 4. Farmers have been given a milk incentive of Rs. 5 per liter till the end of June. The money for the months of August and September is to be paid, and it will be given as soon as it is released by the government.
Unions have been directed to provide animal feed to farmers at a discounted rate. After the increase in milk prices, more than 20 lakh liters of milk are being produced daily. KMF is working in a farmer- and consumer-friendly manner and has a profit margin of 3 to 4 percent on the sale of milk products. He said that the issue of revising the margin of the sellers of Nandini products is being examined.
The change in the government and the party will not be a revolution. Whatever the change, the party high command will pay attention to the Chief Minister. Minister Priyank Kharge said that he is not alone on the RSS issue, we are all with him.
