With milk supply dwindling, production is expected to rise again

In the recent past, inflation in the country has increased significantly. Inflation rate has gone up. Onion prices have recently hit record highs. While the prices of potatoes have also been rising after the onion, milk prices have also gone up and the budget of household goods has gone up. Housewives are offended. Recently, the well-known milk producers sparked the news of price hikes.

Milk prices have risen by around Rs 5 per liter in the last five years but out of this, the price rise of Rs 1 has come in about the last six months, market analysts said. For the first time since December 1, inflation has reached double digit for the first time in the month of December, with food inflation rising 5% in November. Milk procurement in the cooperative sector and private sector dairies has declined by about 3 to 5 percent in the current fiscal year so far in the current financial year of 1-3 compared to the financial year of 1-3, market analysts said.

Milk collection has declined. Despite the high prices, there has also been talk of the Milk Collection not being in the desired quantity. Meanwhile, the prices of skimmed milk powder have also doubled in the span of about a year to around Rs. The good months in milk production are from October to March. Animal feed and good availability of water are associated with good milk production. During this period, the milk production is increasing as the weather cools.

This year's monsoon innings are long gone. Many areas were found to be waterlogged in areas where livestock graze. The availability of animal feed was also reduced due to this. However, now that the rain has stopped and the cold season has begun, there is now hope of increasing milk production further. However, prices have gone up before this.

Meanwhile, the demand for milk has also increased as the marriage season continues. According to milk market analysts, many milk producers who have been lower than their milk prices for a period of 3 years have reduced the area of ​​fodder land and reduced investment in new cattle. In addition to this, farmers' budgets declined during this period to maintain their livestock and provide them with good food.

Meanwhile, prices of maize, cottonseed khola, de-oiled rice bran and other animal diet items went up. Now, with the rise in milk prices, farmers were showing the possibility of being active towards increasing milk production. Recently, the availability of milk has dropped to about one to five percent at one stage.

After the increase in milk prices in May this year, there has been a new increase recently. Thus, prices have gone up twice this year. This year, rainfall has been less in many areas of the country. Animal feed crops have been affected for both these reasons. The cost of livestock food has gone up by about 5 to 8 percent. About 5% of the total cost of milk production comes in the form of feed and fodder costs. In such a scenario, the milk supply deficit was estimated at about 5 to 6 percent.

Butter prices have gone up too. Yogurt and ghee have also been shown to be expensive. Milk producers are claiming that kettlefeed prices have risen by around 3-5%. As a result, the prices of milk procurement have gone up. About 5% of the price of dairy milk is paid to milk producing farmers, the informants claim. A dairy in Rajasthan has also been found to have recently raised the price by Rs 5 per liter.

According to news from South India, the price of milk has increased by two rupees at Telangana. Meanwhile, with the rise in prices and now with the onset of the cold season, now the milk producers are hoping to rise again.
