Tamil Nadu raises milk procurement price for dairy farmers

The Tamil Nadu cabinet approved a hike in the price at which the state purchases milk from registered dairy farmers. The decision, announced through an official press release, aims to align procurement rates with rising production costs and to provide better income security for the farming community. Officials said the revised rates will be applicable to all milk collection centres under the state’s dairy procurement network. The move is expected to boost farmer morale and could strengthen the supply chain for dairy cooperatives operating in the region. No specific price figures were disclosed in the announcement.
