Dairy and cattle farmers in Karachi are advocating for a substantial increase in milk prices, proposing an additional Rs80 per litre. Previously, they had agreed to maintain the price at Rs220 per litre until December 2024, but they now wish to revoke this agreement and set a new price of Rs300 per litre.

The farmers’ association has formally submitted their request to the Karachi Commissioner, seeking an official notification to endorse the proposed price hike. This push for a higher price is driven by increased costs in dairy farming, including feed, maintenance, and transportation, which have negatively impacted their profitability and ability to meet market demands.

The proposed price adjustment reflects the farmers’ need to address these rising expenses to sustain their operations and continue supplying the market with milk. The decision now rests with the Karachi Commissioner to evaluate and respond to the farmers’ request.
