Dairy farmers under the Ernakulam Regional Cooperative Milk Producers Union Limited (ERCMPU), the Ernakulam region of Milma, will be paid an incentive of Rs. 2 per litre of milk being procured by the cooperative body in April. The incentive, which was given for the February-March period, is being extended up to April 30. The milk procurement societies will also get an additional amount of Re.0.50 per litre during the same period. Dairy farmers in Thrissur, Ernakulam, Kottayam and Idukki will benefit from the scheme, a press release issued by the organisation says.
