On the occasion, MD Milkfed Kamaldeep Singh Sangha said that the milk producer sells milk directly to the milk society of his village, of which he is a member thus erasing the possibility of middlemen. The Milkfed knows the pulse of farmers which is clear from the fact that at District level the Milkfed is managed by the milk unions while at State level the elected representatives of milk producers manage the affairs. He also appealed to the rest of the milk producers to become members of the milk society of their respective villages and exhorted those who haven’t formed milk societies in their villages to do so without fail. This would enable them to derive benefit of increased purchase prices of milk, Verka animal feed, Semen of high quality bulls and other services of the technical nature, added the MD.
