Karnataka govt okays Rs 4 per litre increase in milk prices

Bengaluru, Mar 27 (UNI) The Karnataka government has approved a Rs 4 per litre increase in milk prices, effective from April 1, following prolonged deliberations with stakeholders, including the Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) and farmers' organisations.
Animal Husbandry Minister K Venkatesh made the announcement on Thursday, highlighting the state’s decision to address persistent demands from dairy farmers and the Department of Animal Husbandry. The price revision is expected to directly benefit milk producers, a key condition set by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah before approving the hike.
"The increase was necessary to ensure fair compensation for dairy farmers, who have been struggling with rising production costs," Venkatesh stated. "After extensive discussions, the cabinet has decided to implement the revised rates from April 1."
Farmers’ organisations, including the Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha and Green Brigade, had been advocating for a Rs 5 per litre increase and an interim support price of Rs 10 per litre.
In February, these groups staged protests at the KMF office in Bengaluru, demanding an enhancement of procurement rates to at least Rs 50 per litre. The state government, however, has settled on a Rs 4 per litre hike after reviewing financial and logistical considerations.
Milk federations across Karnataka have welcomed the decision, asserting that it will offer much-needed relief to dairy farmers. Industry experts believe the revised pricing will help stabilise the dairy sector, ensuring continued production and fair earnings for those dependent on it.
