Dairy Farmers Association Karachi (DFAK) has demanded of the government to grant subsidy for the development of dairy farm sector as the government had granted Rs 22 billion for the development of fertiliser sector, said a press release issued here on Monday.
In a joint statement, DFAK President Haji Muhammad Akhtar, Vice President Muhammad Asif, General Secretary Abdul Hameed Wakeel, Joint Secretary Dr Rafeequddin Babar and Finance Secretary Haji Abdul Rasheed said the price of all essential dairy feed ingredients had inflated so exorbitantly, which were not affordable for the dairy farmers to continue their businesses.
They said farmers were suffering from this abnormal rise in dairy feed ingredients and had faced with enormous losses. The held that the artificial scarcity of dairy feed ingredients by the hoarders had been aimed at increase their prices.
On one hand the price of dairy feed ingredients is being increased, on the other hand the price of fresh milk is going down in the local open market, which have brought the dairy farmer in doldrums.
They also demanded of the government to rein in the hoarders and control the prices of dairy feed ingredients, and said if government did not play its due role to provide dairy feed ingredients on official low rates, then it would be essential and unavoidable for the dairy farmers to avoid increase in milk price.
