What Mother Dairy spokesperson said
A Mother Dairy spokesperson said that the company is experiencing an increase in various input costs, which have increased manifold during the last 5 months. He further said that the agricultural prices of raw milk alone have increased by about 10-11 per cent in the said period. Similarly, the country has seen a significant increase in feed and fodder costs over the same period due to the earlier heat wave and extended summer season. The increase in agricultural prices is partly being passed on to the consumers, thereby protecting the interests of both the stakeholders – consumers and farmers.
Why did Amul hike prices?
It has been said on behalf of Amul that the company has increased the prices of milk because the total cost and operational cost of the company has increased. The cost of feeding cattle has increased by 20 per cent on a year-on-year basis and the company will have to pass this on to the customers. The prices given to farmers have also been increased by 8-9 percent last year.
