Prices of milk and dairy products have been adjusted by the Bihar State Milk Cooperative Federation Limited (COMFED), which sells goods under the brand name 'Sudha'. All these new rates will come into effect from tomorrow, May 25.

According to COMFED, due to an increase in costs of animal feed, transportation and fuel, prices of products as well as inputs have risen, leading to an increase in rates.

Farmers to benefit from price revision

COMFED stated that dairy farmers will also benefit from the revised structure. The procurement price of milk paid to farmers will increase by up to Rs 3.13 per kilogram, compared to the earlier Rs 2. Additionally, shopkeepers will receive an increased margin of 20 paise per litre.

COMFED has urged consumers to verify updated prices at the time of purchase. It said the revision aims to balance production costs while ensuring a quality dairy supply.

The price hike is expected to slightly impact household budgets, especially for regular milk consumers.
