What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Karnataka's Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar announced that the Cabinet will discuss a proposal to increase milk prices. District milk union presidents submitted a proposal seeking a price increase of ₹12 per litre, with ₹2 potentially allocated to milk producers’ societies. The Chief Minister directed officials to gather comprehensive information on milk production costs and procurement volumes in neighboring states, including Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. The demand for a price revision is driven by financial difficulties faced by dairy farmers due to rising expenses on cattle feed and fodder.

The event highlights a price disparity in dairy procurement across several Southern Indian states. The potential price increase in Karnataka creates competitive pressure on the milk markets of neighboring states like Andhra Pradesh and Kerala. Furthermore, the pressure on dairy supply chains is being increased by external factors, such as the West Asia war.
