Consumers of the entire country, including the country’s capital Delhi-NCR, are suffering from another strong inflation. Mother Paul, one of the country’s major dairy suppliers, has announced an increase of the price of its milk by Rs 2 per liter. This hike has been implemented immediately in all states of the country, which will directly affect the budget of crores of houses. Also, this will have an impact on the nutrition of the people. Mother Paul has stated the main reason behind this price growth, a huge increase in the price of raw milk purchased from farmers. According to the company, the cost of milk production has increased from ₹ 4 to ₹ 5 per liter in the past few weeks. The biggest reason for this unexpected increase is to knock the summer and the heat in many states of the country this year.
Due to the excessive heat, the production of dairy animals has decreased significantly, which has affected the distribution of milk in the market. The company has made it clear that the consumers are not paying full cost. Despite an increase of ₹ 4- ₹ 5 per liter at a cost, customers are charged an additional ₹ 2. The company has taken this step with the aim of protecting the consumers from the trauma of inflation.
What kind of milk is expensive?
Thai milk has changed its different types of milk. Increased prices are as follows:
- Dont Paul (Poly Pack)
- Full Cream Milk
- Double -colored milk: ₹ 49 per liter to ₹ 51 per liter
- Cow Milk: Increased to ₹ 59 per liter ₹ 57 per liter
- Ton -free milk (wholesale sales): ₹ 54 per liter to ₹ 56 per liter
According to data, only mother milk sells about 35 lakh liters of milk a day in the Delhi-NCR. In this context, this small exemption price hike will adversely affect the monthly budget of millions of families.
What to say?
Mother Paul says that farmers are always trying to get a fair price for their milk and consumers continue to receive high -quality milk. According to the company, the results of this price growth have been taken after high thinking, so there is no barrier in the supply chain of milk.
In its official report, the company said, “We only put a burden on consumer, so that the farmers who produce dairy produce can get the right price for their produce. The company’s report reflects their purpose for serving the interests of both farmers and consumers.
Direct injury to the Common Man’s pocket
This increase in milk prices leaves directly than the packet of the ordinary man. For the lower and middle -class families, this change is one of the main concerns. Paul is considered the main source of daily nutrition in India. Milk consumption is almost mandatory for children, aging and sick persons. In such a situation, as prices increase, many families may be forced to reduce their milk consumption, which can directly affect their health.

In addition, the increase in milk prices will increase the price of yogurt, cheese, butter, ghee and other products made from milk. If this happens, this inflation cycle will be deep, and it is very difficult to live for the ordinary man.
Permanent solution is needed
In this era, a continuous increase in this price, climate change and production costs by Thai Milk, reveals the important question that the government and businesses must find a permanent solution. As long as the livestock and milk production system is sensitive and durable towards climate change, consumers will have to face such an unexpected price. The government should help farmers to follow climate -friendly animal cultivation techniques and create useful policies to reduce the cost of milk production, so that the budget of the common man’s kitchen is deteriorating and ensuring nutritional protection for all.
