Why the prices increased – High prices of animal feed and increase in demand for milk in this season is becoming the reason for increase in the prices of milk.

According to Matthew Biggin, commodity analyst at BMI, the research unit of Fitch Solutions, farmers are not able to provide enough fodder to their cattle due to the rise in fodder prices.

According to the National Dairy Development Board of India, cattle feed is usually made of corn, wheat, rice, and many other grains. The prices of many of these grains saw a big jump in the middle of last year and their prices have continued to rise. Some of the increase in prices was due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which disrupted the supply chain and pushed up prices.
