Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Wednesday directed the Tamil Nadu Cooperative Milk Federation, Aavin, to hike the procurement price of milk by ₹3 per litre from December 18.
Farmers selling milk to Aavin’s primary cooperative societies will now get ₹38 per litre for cow milk and ₹47 per litre for buffalo milk. The announcement comes when dairy farmers have been clamouring for an increase in procurement price due to a quantum leap in cost of farm inputs.
