Noting that this was the highest profit made by TRCMPU in a decade, TRCMPU chairman Mani Viswanath informed that out of this, Rs 35.08 crore was passed on to farmers of four southern districts as an additional price incentive and Rs 3.06 crore as a cattle feed subsidy. Dairy farmers of milk cooperative societies affiliated with TRCMPU in Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Pathanamthitta and Alappuzha districts have already received the benefits.
As a summer season relief measure, the TRCMPU board also decided to provide an additional incentive of Rs 8 per litre of milk for farmers in April 2025. With this, the procurement price of milk will go up to Rs 53.13 per litre, which is expected to entail a commitment of Rs 6 crore, the chairman said.
Aimed at the comprehensive development of the dairy sector and the welfare of farmers, TRCMPU set apart an amount of Rs 27 crore for implementing various schemes during the financial year 2025-26, Viswanath and TRCMPU managing director Muraly P said.
