The procurement price of milk has been increased by Rs 10 to Rs 570 per kg fat by Rajkot District Co-operative Milk Producers Union (Rajkot Dairy). The new rate has been applicable from May 1. Rajkot Dairy is a member of Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF).

The rise in procurement price for milk producers comes in the backdrop of declining milk production in summer and rise in cost fodder and other associated cost related to animal feed. Farmers face fodder shortage for animals and have to pay high price for animal feed.

The dairy has increased procurement price by Rs 35 per kg fat over the last two weeks. Prior to the current hike, it had raised procurement price by Rs 25 on April 15.
