The Haryana Dairy Development Cooperation Federation has increased the milk procurement rate in the state by Rs 20 per kg fat.
According to spokesman of the federation, the revised milk purchase rate would now be Rs 320 per kg fat. Thus for average fat of 6.5 per cent, the increase in rate would be Rs 1.34 per kg.
With this increase, the federation would pay approximately Rs 2.80 crore per month additional milk price for the milk procured during the current season every month.
He said that this would be the highest milk procurement price in the northern region.
The spokesman added there would be no change in the selling price of pasteurised milk to the consumers.
The additional financial burden on account of the increase in the procurement price would be borne by the federation and its affiliated milk unions in the state and would not be passed on to the consumers.
