As per a deal signed between the Andhra Pradesh government and Amul, milk collection will start in some districts of AP later this month. Nearly 22 lakh additional litres of milk will be collected, IANS reports.

Dairy minister says Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy will give cheques to the dairy farmers on November 25.

A source says the deal with Amul aims to promote milk cooperative societies, especially those run by women, and generally develop the dairy sector in the state.

It is said over 5 lakh women who have received financial help under the YSR Cheyutha scheme are willing to establish small dairies across villages.

Alka Upadhyaya, Secretary of the Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying (DAHD), stated that the milk supply in India remains stable, with the Wholesale Price Index (WPI) and Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation rates for milk recorded at 2.09 per cent and 2.85 per cent, respectively, in November 2024.
