Farmers' Association Thanks CM Vijay For Aavin Hike

Namakkal: The Tamil Nadu Farmers' Association has TN CM C Joseph Vijay for the hike in milk procurement price from Rs. 35 to 39 per litre, and the incentive of Rs 5.

Namakkal Velusamy, State president of the Tamil Nadu Farmers' Association founded by late farmer-leader Narayanasamy Naidu, said the price paid by the Tamil Nadu government's Aavin for milk procured from milk producers was not remunerative.

As production costs had gone up, farmers' associations and the milk producers' welfare association had urged the TVK government to increase the procurement price as promised in its election manifesto
