Mysuru: Raising voice against the Centre’s move to import duty-free milk and milk products from other countries under the RCEP (Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership) trade agreement, milk producers under the banner of MYMUL (Mysuru Milk Union Ltd.) and Mysuru Milk Dairy Employees staged a demonstration in front of the Deputy Commissioner’s Office this morning. Their protest was part of a State-wide stir.
According to the protesters, the Centre’s attempts to implement the RCEP agreement will sound a death knell for millions of milk producers across the country. They said that the Centre’s action will hit the dairy sector very hard, particularly at a time when the country is set to achieve a production target of 330 million tonnes of milk every year by 2033.
