TN farmers want govt to raise milk procurement rate

BL reports

The Salem-based United Farmers Association has asked the State Government to increase the milk procurement rate which will encourage producers to increase output and at the same time, buttress the farmers' income.

There is a need to supplement the income levels of the farmers in rural areas affected by high inflation and raising the procurement rate will directly benefit the rural folk largely involved in rearing milch animals, according to Mr P. Vyapuri, President of the association.
