A Maharashtra milk producers' and processors' association raised retail prices of cow and buffalo milk by Rs 4 a litre, effective November 16. It also raised dairy product prices by up to 10 percent.
The increase reflects higher diesel, transport, packaging and procurement costs, and the association expects procurement prices to rise further. This points to firmer dairy costs in India, with limited direct effect on global feed grain prices.
After 20 past bullish macro events, Milk (Class III) moved a median +0.1% over 5 sessions (55% higher; middle half -0.1% to +2.4%), and +2.4% over 20.
