Coimbatore : The Federation of Tamil Nadu Agriculturists Association today announced that it would stop supply of milk, if the Government failed to convene a meeting of milk producers to discuss increase in milk prices, by February 4.
Though milk producers had demanded increase in the prices of cow milk from Rs 20 to Rs 30 and buffalo milk from Rs 28 to Rs 40, government has increased the procurement price only by Rs 3, which is very meagre considering the input costs, C Nallasami, federation secretary, said.
In the backdrop of hardship being faced by the milk producers, particularly after the death of cattle due to foot and mouth disease, the Government should immediately convene a meeting and discuss further increase of milk price, Nallasami said.
