Sources at the union told The Hindu on Thursday that the management has taken the decision to revise the procurement price to ₹28.50 a litre in a recently convened meeting. The milk suppliers currently get ₹25 for a litre of milk.
The union at Gejjalagere, near Maddur on the Bengaluru-Mysuru highway, in the district collects little over 8 lakh litres of milk daily from around 1 lakh dairy farmers. The union has 1,200 milk producers’ cooperative societies, including a good number of all-women cooperative milk producers’ societies, across the district.
