The Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) announced a price hike for ghee and butter effective today, citing rising production costs.
The Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) has announced that the retail prices of its ghee and butter will increase from today. The decision follows a review of rising costs in raw milk procurement and packaging. KMF, the largest dairy cooperative in the state, said the hike aims to sustain the quality of its products while keeping pace with inflation.
Consumers can expect the new prices to be reflected at KMF‑licensed retail outlets across Karnataka. The federation’s statement did not specify the exact amount of the increase, but it emphasized that the adjustment is necessary to maintain supply stability.
Industry analysts note that the move aligns with a broader trend of dairy cooperatives adjusting prices in response to market pressures. KMF has previously implemented price revisions to ensure the welfare of its milk producers and the affordability of dairy goods for consumers.
