Thiruvananthapuram: Milk prices are likely to go up by more than Rs 6 per litre in the state. A committee, appointed by Milma, submitted its interim report recommending a price hike of Rs 7-8 per litre on Sunday.
The Milma union representatives will hold a meeting on Monday to discuss the price hike and will inform the government of their decision.
As per the committee’s report, a hike of Rs 7-8 per litre is demanded by the dairy farmers. Only then can the farmers receive a fair amount excluding commission.
Recommendations by the committee
- Currently, a farmer receives Rs 38-40 per litre. The production cost is up to Rs 46. Hence, prices should be hiked in such a way that the farmers will receive at least Rs 6 as profit.
