Following the announcement of the government, increase in the Aavin milk price is coming into effect from today (August 19). Consequently, the prices of the other products of Aavin commodity have also risen.

Milk producers associations have requested the government to increase the procurement price of milk due to the high prices of livestock fodder.

Chief Minister Edappadi Palanisamy in his speech at Salem told, "Most of the dairy cooperatives are running at a loss. Diesel prices have increased and the cost of transporting milk also has increased. The purchase price has been increased by accepting the demand from the manufacturers. Increase in purchase prices is more in Tamil Nadu than other states. Cattle fodder cannot be sold in a ration shop.".
