KARACHI: The price of milk in Karachi Pakistan shot up to 10 per liter after the city’s commissioner approved a hike, acceding to the demands of the Dairy Farmers Association.

As per the commissioner’s directives, the price of milk has surged by PKR 10 per liter, with shops in Karachi now selling milk at PKR 210 per liter.

Mubasher Qadeer Abbasi, the president of Dairy Farmers Karachi, has indicated that an increase of PKR 50 per liter of milk is expected soon for the people of Karachi. Abbasi cited the high cost of milk production, soaring cattle prices, and government negligence as factors contributing to this imminent rise.

Abbasi stressed the urgency for the Karachi Commissioner to promptly issue a notification regarding the new prices aligned with the milk production costs.

He further emphasized that if the authorities do not announce the increase in milk prices by May 10, stakeholders will take matters into their own hands and raise prices after consensus.

Prices of tomatoes, chicken, onions, and wheat flour moved down while items that increased included potatoes, and garlic.
