CHENNAI: The State government on Monday announced an increase of Rs.2 a litre in the price of toned milk supplied to consumers through monthly milk cards. It would go up to Rs.17.75 from Rs.15.75 a litre.

For milk sold to non-card holders through Aavin (Tamil Nadu Milk Producers Federation) depots or retailers, the increase in price of toned milk is Rs.2.5 a litre. The revised maximum retail price will be Rs.20.50 against the existing MRP of Rs.18. Standardised milk In the case of standardised milk sold through automatic vending machines, the rise would be Rs.2 for half a litre for non-card holders. The new price would be Rs.12 (current rate: Rs.10). In the case of cardholders, the difference would be Rs.1.50 for

half a litre with the existing rate of Rs.9.25 going up to Rs.10.75. Procurement The government has also decided to increase the procurement price of cow milk by Rs.2 a litre and that of buffalo milk by Rs.5 a litre. The decisions will come into effect on September 1, according to an official release. The procurement price of cows milk per litre would go up from Rs.13.54 to Rs.15.54. The price of buffalo milk would rise from Rs.18 to Rs.23. The rates were arrived at following discussions between

the government, represented by Electricity Minister Arcot N. Veeraswami and Dairy Development Minister U. Mathivanan, and office-bearers of the Milk Producers Welfare Association, including K.A. Sengottuvel, president. Mr. Mathivanan told The Hindu that of 10.5 lakh litres of milk marketed in Chennai every day, toned milk accounted for nearly seven lakh litres. In the rest of the State, another 10.5 lakh litres of milk was sold. A total of 23.5 lakh litres was procured every day, with the remainder used for by-products.

An official of Aavin said that the governments decision would immediately benefit around 4.1 lakh pouring members of milk producers cooperative societies. (There are about 8,000 milk producers cooperative societies functioning with a membership of 22 lakhs.)
