Overall milk production has been stable.
But production costs at the end of farmers have risen.

The Dinshaw itself sits in 500 tons of additional white butter,” he said.
The source at Haldiram also confirmed that the price of milk has been carried out by RS2.
This is mainly because diesel prices affect logistics costs, the source said.
Price increases are needed to keep the margins intact, say industry sources.

50 for buffalo milk.
The latter has increased by a rupee statement issued from Ms.
Dairy, said the company had experienced inflationary pressures in the overall input costs.
