The Dairy and Cattle Association has alerted that if growing grain prices and fodder exports are not controlled, the price of pure buffalo milk will reach Rs200 per litre during Ramazan.
Dairy farmers were obliged to sell milk at higher prices due to rising grain prices and levies imposed on dairy products, said Shakir Umar Gujjar, the association’s central president, and Khan Babar Bhatti, the association’s central Punjab chief, at a press conference on Friday.
They said that the farm-gate price of milk is Rs150 per litre, and that anyone selling it for less than that is selling adulterated or synthetically manufactured milk. They said that the mafia is tampering with public health.
