Govt permits export of skimmed milk powder

12 Jun 2012 Evaluate

In the midst of surplus availability of milk, the government has lifted ban on exports of skimmed milk powder (SMP).  This move by the government would help to improve finances of dairy firms and also help domestic milk producers. In February 2011, with a view to contain rise in domestic milk prices, the government had banned SMP exports but earlier this month it decided to lift the ban.

As per the notification issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), the classifications of export and import items has been bifurcated and an entry number 38.01 (new entry) 'skimmed milk powder' is introduced. Export of new entry namely skimmed milk powder has been made free.

However, DGFT has released the list of items that are still prohibited from exports. It includes exports of milk and cream, concentrated or containing added sugar or other sweetening matter, including whole milk powder, dairy whitener and infant milk foods.

On account of steep fall in domestic prices following surplus supplies in the world’s biggest milk producing country, the dairy industry is unable to make profits out of sale of skimmed milk powder and therefore has been facing liquidity crunch. From Rs 190-200 per kg in the year gone by, the domestic prices of SMP have come down to Rs 150 per kg.
