Aavin Refusing To Procure Milk To Favour Private Producers?: PMK Founder Dr. S. Ramadoss Statement
2015
Date:
Farmers have agitated against this activity of Aavin by pouring milk on the road. Aavins vengeful
activity is causing two types of damages. The milk not procured by Aavin is sold at very low prices to
local traders. The same milk is sold to Aavin with higher profit disguising as bulk producers. The
private milk suppliers reduced their milk price because they were not able to compete with Aavin
which purchased milk in large quantities and supplied liberally. If the situation continued private
vendors would have reduced milk prices further. Since Aavin is refusing to increase milk procurement
its sales will decrease and sale by private suppliers will increase. This will result in milk prices increase.
There is room for suspicion whether Aavin is working to create such a situation.
It is unpardonable to crush the traditional milk producers to benefit private suppliers. Aavin should
change this attitude and should procure wholly from traditional milk producers. It should be ensured
that both Aavin and traditional milk producers are mutually benefitted.
Yours,
