The move will save the milk major ₹15.39 crore per annum
The Tamil Nadu Cooperative Milk Producers Federation, whose popular brand is Aavin, has terminated the contract of 11 clearing and forwarding (C&F) agents, who are part of the milk delivery chain in the city, saving ₹15.39 crore per annum. The termination came into effect from July 3. They were being paid an additional 75 paise per litre of milk on the condition that they would increase sales to 6 lakh litres per day, which had not happened, leading to the decision, officials said. However, the agents would function as wholesale distributors, who would supply milk to distributors or retailers. It was in 2019 that Aavin appointed C&F agents in the hope that they would help increase sales. They were chosen from among existing wholesale dealers, who were performing well and selling above 10,000 litres a day. Private dairies had C&F agents in their distribution line.More Related News
