Milk price in Karachi has recently been updated following discussions between the city’s commissioner and the Dairy Farmers Association. The new rate for milk at retail outlets is now Rs 220 per liter, reflecting an increase of Rs 20. This decision comes despite recent decreases in petroleum prices, which often influence the costs of many goods and services.
Wholesale milk prices have been set at Rs 205 per litre, while dairy farmers will receive Rs 195 per litre. The agreement to adjust prices was reached after lengthy negotiations, ensuring that the new rates are adhered to by all parties involved.
Under the terms of the new agreement, dairy farmers have agreed to sell milk at the official prices. Any violations of this agreement will result in penalties. The milk vendors have committed not to request any further price hikes until the end of December. Additionally, they must clearly display the purchase and sale prices at all points of sale to ensure transparency for consumers.
Maintaining the quality of milk from the farm to the store is a key part of the agreement. This assures consumers that they will receive good quality milk at the new prices.
These measures aim to balance the interests of both the dairy farmers and the consumers, providing fair compensation for farmers while keeping milk affordable for the public. This update in milk pricing is a significant step to stabilize the market and ensure that milk remains accessible to everyone in Karachi.
