FLUSH SEASON FOR MILK

Dec. 23, 2019

Recently, the two dairy majors, Amul, and Mother Dairy raised the maximum retail prices of their milk pouches by Rs 2 per litre. This was the second time this year that Mother Dairy and Amul have raised prices.

About:

  • The reasons for the tightness in supply may be partly weather-related and partly structural.

  • The “flush” season for milk — when production by animals goes up due to better fodder and water availability, besides lower temperatures and humidity — is normally from October till March.

  • This time, the flush has been delayed because of excess rains from September through November.
