The Ercmp Administrative Committee meeting, which took place in Ernakula, decided to apply to Millenm, said Valsalan Pillai, Sunday (April 6, 2025).
“It is up to the federation to decide to raise prices. But we will continue to press the body of the peak to discuss it,” he added.
Mr. Pillai said that milk farmers in Keraral did not accept income in proportion to production costs, which caused many small and marginal dairies to leave the sector. He claimed that state milk production was falling and forcing Kerala to rely heavily on neighboring states.
He also emphasized problems, such as climate change and increasing occurrence of diseases between cattle. “We urgently need government intervention to avert the immediate crisis,” he added.
