Eluru Collector V. Prasanna Venkatesh appealed to dairy farmers not to be tempted by the new milk procurement prices offered by private dairies in the wake of the success of ‘Jagananna Palavelluva’ programme.
Amul offered up to ₹78 a litre as part of the Amul-Andhra Pradesh pact, which was higher than what the private dairies offered. The agreement aims at disrupting the dominance of private dairies.
The Collector was speaking at a coordination meeting with the officials of animal husbandry and co-operative departments and rural development authority here on Saturday.
