According to the information, the Dairy Farm Association insisted that the cost of milk is set at Rs 180 per kg at the farm level and that the present rates are hurting the business.
The group asked Commissioner Karachi to set the price of milk at Rs 230 a kilogram.
Previously, milk merchants were selling fresh milk for an unofficial price of Rs220-230 per litre, even though the municipal administration had set the retail price at Rs200 per litre.
The province’s milk prices would increase, as the Karachi Dairy Farmers Association declared in November of last year.
According to specifics, the Dairy Farmers Association raised milk pricing, claiming it was not feasible to sell milk at the price set by Commissioner Karachi.
While the commissioner in Karachi said that the manufacturing cost was Rs 195 but that the final price was Rs 180, the association claimed that the price of feed is still unregulated.
