Dairy industry stares at worst crisis as Govt set to import cheaper products

Nagpur Today : Nagpur News

Nagpur: At a time when the Indian economy is witnessing one of its worst slowdown phases, taking a major toll on all prominent sectors including auto and real estate, the crisis in dairy industry only appears to be worsening. With the government planning to include dairy industry in the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) trade deal, the dairy sector is staring at the inevitable financial doom.

Under the umbrella of RCEP, the government has planned to import milk powder and dairy products from Australia and New Zealand at cheaper rates, putting severe questions on the livelihood of several men and women associated with the dairy industry.

RCEP is a trade deal that is currently under negotiation among 16 countries including India, Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Australia, China, South Korea, Japan and New Zealand. Negotiations on the details of the RCEP have been on since 2013, and all participating countries aim to finalise and sign the deal by November.

Where all the other industries struggling to survive the economy slowdown, this move of importing dairy products is likely to hit the domestic industry in worst possible ways.

“Milk is, moreover, a source of liquidity for farmers, as it is sold daily and generates cash to take care of routine household expenses, unlike other crops that are marketed only once or twice a year,” says Ramesh Shingane, who owns a private dairy farm.

Speaking to Nagpur Today, city’s dairy giant says, “This year for the first time farmers are getting good rates for milk. For cow’s milk we pay upto Rs.28/ per liter and buffalo milk Rs.35/ per litre. Above that we pay them miscellaneous Rs. 3/ or so per litre for expenses such as transportation. This milk, after processing and packaging is sold in the market at Rs. 40/ and Rs 50/ respectively,”

“Even a small farmer having just 2 cows/ buffaloes can sell approx 20 litres a day. He easily makes Rs.15/ not profit after expenses and earns Rs.300/ cash per day. This takes care of a lot of his day to day expenses and he isn’t solely dependent on Agriculture,” he added.

The company purchases around 1.5 lakh litres of milk per day to be sold as milk and to be used for making mithai, curds etc.

Products such as ghee are also fetching Rs 500 per Kg rates.

All this dairy economics will be disturbed if imports of milk ( powder and fats) is made cheaper.

In Europe, New Zealand etc because of mass production milk is much cheaper than in India. And surplus too. These governments support Dairy businesses and farmers to the hilt.

We should also look out for the interests of our small farmers. Cheaper imports will put them into jeopardy.

As campaign frenzy increased across the state, AAP too amplified it’s efforts at voter outreach. Sr Leader and MP, Rajya Sabha- Shri Sanjay Singhji addressed packed rallies in Savli and Navargaon of Brahmapuri Vidhansabha, Chandrapur District where social activist and AAP Candidate Paromita Goswami, is poised for a win, given her body of work for women and tribal empowerment. It may be noted, that this is the first major consolidation of women voters in this election, supporting one of their own in the fray.

“AAP is not only, about ‘Clean Politics’ but also about ‘Good governance’. Our work in Delhi, is there for all to see especially in world-class education, healthcare, electricity, water and transport.

Maharashtra is a failing state and it’s masses have suffered due to vested interests in power and a lack of political will for the people’s welfare. Whether it is rising unemployment or agrarian distress due to crop failures and lack of adequate crop loans and insurance or the numerous scams or the state’s debt increasing by 2.91 lakh crores, Maharashtra deserves better. Given that opposition has abdicated it’s responsibility, please give AAP a chance and vote for Paromitaji, vote for the broom”, said Sanjay Singh addressing a mammoth rally at Savli, Brahmapuri Vidhan Sabha.

Vote for us. We have demonstrated what we can do in Delhi, let us become the people’s voice in Maharashtra.”, he said.
