Milk and Curd Prices to Increase from November 1; CM DK Shivakumar Details Reasons

Milk and curd prices are set to increase starting November 1. CM DK Shivakumar stated that the increase of ₹8 per liter for milk and ₹14 per liter for curd is necessary due to rising costs in fodder, feed, fuel, and packaging, along with the decline in daily milk collection due to drought. He added that of the ₹8 increase, ₹7 will directly reach the farmers, bringing the milk price to ₹35-42 per liter. The revised curd price will increase the farmer's monthly income by approximately ₹2,100 for a farmer supplying 10 liters of milk daily.
