Milk Price Hike in Karachi – In a recent development, the Karachi Dairy Farmers Association has announced an increase in milk prices across the province, citing the impracticality of adhering to the price set by Commissioner Karachi. The association highlighted the uncontrollable surge in the cost of fodder as a significant contributing factor to this decision.
The Commissioner had previously convened a meeting of stakeholders to establish a new pricing structure for milk in the metropolis. Despite the government’s fixed price of Rs180 per litre, reports indicate that it has been consistently sold at higher rates, ranging from Rs220 to Rs230 per litre in various areas of the city.
This move by the Dairy Farmers Association underscores the economic challenges faced by local farmers, particularly the escalating costs associated with fodder. As a result, the association deemed it necessary to adjust the milk prices to ensure the sustainability of dairy farming operations.
Consumers and stakeholders alike are encouraged to stay informed about these changes and their potential implications for the local dairy industry. The association’s decision of milk price hike in Karachi reflects the intricate balance between economic factors and the need to maintain the viability of Karachi’s dairy sector.
