The higher cost of feed and fodder as well as the irregular rainfall have a negative impact on raw milk availability and prices, the spokeswoman continued. Additionally, Mother Dairy reported an increase in demand for processed milk.

"Prices for raw milk have risen further as a result of the persistent supply-demand imbalance that has persisted even after the holiday season. As a result, we are forced to pass on some of the effects by revising some versions' consumer prices "added the spokeswoman.
