Milk cooperative records increase in both procurement and sales
There is no plan at present to hike Milma milk prices, K.S. Mani, Kerala Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (Milma) chairman, said on Thursday.
Milma does not have any price revision proposal before it at the moment. Moreover, the State Government had declared that a hike was not on the cards, Mr. Mani said. Milk prices were last hiked by ₹4 per litre in September 2019.
The milk cooperative has recorded an increase in both milk procurement and sales in the State over the past year. But there is still potential to increase both, Mr. Mani said.
As speculation over the continuation of Minister for Scheduled Tribes Welfare B. Nagendra in the Cabinet persisted, with the demand for his resignation raised by the BJP in connection with the ₹94 crore scam at the Maharshi Valmiki Scheduled Tribes Development Corporation, his Cabinet colleagues came to his defence on Thursday.
