BHUBANESWAR: Members of the Odisha Milk Farmers’ Association (OMFA) on Sunday submitted a memorandum to Sanjeev Balyan, Union minister of state for fisheries, animal husbandry and dairying, here demanding minimum support price (MSP) for milk at Rs 50 per litre.
Now there is no MSP system for milk like paddy in Odisha. “Many people, especially women, are involved in dairy farming in the country. But the milk producers do not get remunerative prices for their produce. Hence, there is a need to fix up milk MSP in view of price rise,” said OMFA chairman Rabi Behera.
