Milk price hiked in Karnataka
This follows a demand by farmers who are struggling with drought
The price of Nandini milk is set to go up by ₹8 per litre.
The price of Nandini milk is set to go up by ₹8 per litre in Karnataka. The State Cabinet took a decision in this regard on October 29 following a demand by farmers for hike in procurement price of milk. Of this, ₹7 will go to farmers, and ₹1 to Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF).
Though dairy farmers had been demanding a hike citing escalation in input cost and the drought in Karnataka, a decision had been deferred because of the election code of conduct being in force owing to Legislative Council polls. The results of the polls were declared on October 27.
Following hike in milk prices, hotels are likely to increase their prices.
