Print MANGALORE: Come February 21, and the youngest among 13 milk unions in the state - Dakshina Kannada Cooperative Milk Producers’ Union Ltd (DKMUL) will be foremost in terms of procurement price paid to farmers. Thanks to decision taken at the board meeting held on Wednesday, the farmers effective February 21 will receive Rs 27 per litre of milk that the union procures. The union has also upped the base procurement price to Rs 25/litre.
Raviraj Hegde, president of DKMUL said if one took into consideration the Rs 4/litre of incentive that the state government paid to milk producers, the farmers in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi will now receive Rs 31 for every litre of milk they sell, the highest amount paid by any of the 13 milk unions in the state. The union incidentally has hiked the incentive amount two times since November last, Hegde said, adding this step is having a positive effect.
The union that has 1.12-lakh members including 51,000 active members spread across 652 milk producers’ cooperative societies produces 2.60 lakh litres per day against the requirement of 3.50-lakh litres. Admitting that the union is still facing a deficit in terms of procurement, Hegde said financial incentives given to farmers has ensured 13-15% growth in procurement and is helping the union gradually bridge the gap between demand and supply.
The 50 paise hike in base price means that procurement price will now not dip below Rs 25 per litre, he said, adding that Rs 2 per litre incentive cleared by the board entails an additional outgo of Rs 1.50 crore on the union till end of March. The union will take a call on retaining this incentive of Rs 2 per litre beyond March based on its financial position, he said, adding the union during 2013-14 has disbursed Rs 5.93 crore from its profits to farmers.
