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 four.
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.Three, which is very meagre considering the input costs, C Nallasami, federation secretary, said in a release here.
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.
