KMF approves proposal to hike milk prices by Rs 3 in general body meeting
Bengaluru: During the general body meeting of the Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) held at Bengaluru, the committee headed by Chairman Balachandra Jarkiholi approved the proposal to raise the price of milk by Rs 3 per litre, on Thursday.
Additionally, the KMF is set to submit an appeal to Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai to approve the price hike.
The Chairman of the federation, Balachandra Jarkiholi addressed the media about their prominent dairy brand in the country - ‘Nandini’ milk – and said, “Nandini milk is sold at Rs 37 in the state and all milk unions of Karnataka have unanimously sought revision in the prices. The federation will not avail profit from the hike as the additional Rs 3 will be paid to the farmers during the procurement of milk. Soon, we will meet CM Bommai and get approval for the revised tariff,” Jarkiholi said.
The chairman of the Karnataka Milk Federation also said that the Belagavi Nandini Mega Food Park’s work was undergoing in full swing and the unit would boost the sale of paneer and cheese besides helping market other products of the state’s milk federation.
Apart from that, the general body also decided to market its flavoured milk products manufactured at the Hassan pet bottle plant. The plant alone produces about 5 lakh pet bottles daily.
