KARACHI: Dairy farmers have proposed a system of wholesale and retail pricing of milk based on the ratio of its fat content, which offers a lasting solution to price-related issues faced by consumers as well as sellers, an industry official said on Thursday.
“In the current but outdated system, the price of standard and substandard milk is same, which actually brings losses to farmers producing high quality milk, and on the other allows substandard milk producers to exploit the consumers,” said Harris Ali Mithani, head of the Dairy, Agriculture, and Livestock Farmers Association (DALFA) in a statement.
“Farmers have agreed on the proposal to sell milk in terms of fat ratio and comprehensive recommendations for the implementation of this proposal will be submitted with the Sindh government and the city administration soon, so that the farmers can have some relief.”
