NEW DELHI, Jan 20 (PTI): Warning that northern India was facing a shortage of milk, Food and Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar said States will have to decide on the demand for price rise to ensure procurement.
Recalling that some of the States had taken a decision in October to hike prices, he said at a ministers’ conference on milk productivity that “unless there is a decision (on prices), I do not know whether the States will be able to procure (milk) to meet the demand.” “We are facing insufficient availability of milk, especially in northern India. In October, we had taken adecision on prices. Today, there is a demand that we should hike the prices”. ASSAM TRIBUNE
