The
Maharashtra government has asked milk cooperative societies and
distributors to slash milk prices by Rs 2 to Rs 5, dairy development
minister Eknath Khadse said today. "I have directed the milk
co-operative societies and distributors to slash the market price of
milk by Rs 2 to Rs 5 as they have been earning more than double the
procurement rates," Khadse told reporters here. "These milk
distributors have been procuring milk from farmers at Rs 14 - Rs 16
while their market ranges between Rs 40 to Rs 60," he said. The
issue of falling milk prices was raised by leader of opposition in
Legislative Council Dhananjay Munde during the budget session of the
state legislature in March. Khadse said that the government is also
prepared to promulgate an ordinance for providing a fixed rate of Rs
20 per litre to milk-producing farmers who are facing difficult times
owing to the steep fall in milk prices. "We will take a strict
action against the milk procurement centres which pay the milk
producers at less than the prescribed rate. Criminal cases would be
filed against the procurement centres which pay less than Rs 20 a
litre. It will be non-bailable offence based on Essential Services
Maintenance Act (ESMA,)" the minister said. He claimed that the
milk distributors have also agreed to reduce market prices. He said
the procurement institutions purchase milk at cheap rates from
farmers and sell it to consumers at high price.
