Karnataka Chief Minister DK Shivakumar defended the state government's increase in the retail price of Nandini milk, saying it was meant to give farmers better returns. He argued that Karnataka farmers were receiving less than those supplying Amul and criticised opposition criticism of the hike.
A state-mandated milk price increase raises producer incomes in Karnataka and may support herd retention and demand for cattle feed. The effect on national feed prices is limited.
After 149 past policy events, Milk (Class III) moved a median -0.1% over 5 sessions (45% higher; middle half -1.1% to +0.6%), and -0.2% over 20.
