Kerala Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation (Milma) will raise milk prices by ₹4/litre from June 1, citing higher production, fuel, packaging and procurement costs. Farmers get ₹3.35 of the hike; 500ml toned milk rises from ₹26 to ₹28.
Why this matters
Milma's June 1 hike aligns with multiple recent signals flagging fuel and procurement cost pressure across Kerala dairy, with most of the ₹4 routed to farmers facing feed inflation.
Retail-brand activity steady at 421 signals over the last 90 days.
