The National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) has informed that there are no possibilities of milk prices coming down as fodder has turned pricier because of drought conditions.
NDDB chairman T Nanda Kumar said that “Prices of cattle-feed have gone up by 70 percent, which is affecting dairy farmers. Even the global milk scenario is not positive and export is down. This situation will continue for some more time.”
He further said that “There is no possibility of domestic milk prices coming down. Prices of some cattle-feed ingredients continue to rise and that affects milk producers.”
