Bhubaneswar: Leading milk supplier of the country, ‘Amul’, has increased the prices by Rs 2 per litre ahead of Diwali festival.

It is pertinent to mention here that the wholesale inflation data released earlier this week indicated that the inflation rate of fodder at 25 percent remains close to a record high. It has seen a slight decline from the record level in August.

Therefore, the farmers are facing challenges in raising their cattle. Adding to it, they are spending their earnings on cattle more than ever before. Due to this, the cost of milk production has been continually increasing.

Recently, Union Home Minister and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah said that Amul will be merged with five other cooperative societies to form a multi-state cooperative society (MSCS). At the 70th plenary session of the North Eastern Council last week, Shah said the process for the merger has already started.
