What is the real reason behind the increase in milk prices?

According to milk producers and processing professionals, almost all costs to the milk business have increased in the past few years.

The price of diesel has increased by about Rs 10 per liter.

Sugar prices have increased by about Rs 12 per kg.

The cost of packing materials has increased by more than 30 percent.

Milk purchase prices have also increased.

The increase in transportation, processing and other commercial costs has had a major impact on the total production cost.

All these increases have had a direct impact on the financial calculations of milk producers and milk processing institutions. Therefore, the union said that the income from milk sales is insufficient compared to the increasing costs.

Decision taken in a meeting in Pune

A meeting of the members of the Milk Producers and Processing Professionals Welfare Association, the apex body of cooperative and private dairies in the state, was held at the Pune District Cooperative Milk Producers Association Limited i.e. Katraj Dairy.

The meeting was chaired by the president of the association, Gopalrao Mhaske. The meeting reviewed the costs incurred for milk production, processing, packing and transportation. Keeping in mind the financial strain on milk producers due to rising costs, it was decided to increase the prices of milk and milk products.

About 20 representatives of major cooperatives and private milk associations in the state were present at the meeting.

The objective is to ensure that milk producers get fair remuneration

It was mentioned in the meeting that while production costs are increasing, it is necessary for milk producers to get fair remuneration for their products. Therefore, it was decided to increase the selling price of milk by Rs. 2 per liter.

According to the association, considering the increase in production, packing, transportation and processing costs, it has become necessary to increase the prices. This decision will help balance the rising costs to some extent and will contribute to milk producers getting fair remuneration.

Dairy products will also become more expensive

Not only will the price of milk increase, but it has also been decided to increase the selling price of various dairy products by up to 10 percent. Therefore, the impact of the rising costs in the milk processing industry will be felt directly by consumers.

If the price of milk-based products increases, it is likely to affect the household budget as well as hotels, sweet shops, bakeries and food businesses.

Fellowship of the newly elected president in the meeting

During the meeting, the newly elected president of the Pune District Cooperative Milk Producers’ Union, Arun Sitaram Chambhare, was felicitated on behalf of the Milk Producers and Processing Welfare Association.

MLA Vikram Pachpute was also thanked for his important cooperation in the process of banning analog cheese.
