Summons the National Dairy Council: Raw milk price not updated

The Council, which last met on October 14, announced the raw milk recommendation price at TL 8.50 per litre. However, while there was a milk crisis due to the slaughter of breeding cows, the prices on the free market increased up to 11 TL. As the producer awaits an update on raw milk pricing today after a long hiatus, USK has not announced pricing.

Sencer Solakoğlu, president of the All Dairy, Meat and Cattle Breeders Association (TÜSEDAD), said in a statement on the subject that the National Dairy Council was established 12 years ago to end production at the producer’s expense, but instead of being a mechanism. which protects the farmer, is the government’s ‘instrument’ for setting prices.

“TURKEY’S 2-3 YEARS LOOK VERY DARK”

Solakoğlu said: “USK doesn’t matter anymore. Re-milking prices are determined based on prices determined in the field. But these are temporary days. The heart desires that USK regroup and announce a sustainable price. But the most important issue is the formation of a council where qualified, impartial and politically free people sit at a table. Although food inflation has decreased in the world today, Turkey is the fifth country with the highest increase in food inflation. Decisions made in panic and without knowledge. Turkey’s 2-3 years seems very dark, since I disrupted this biological mechanism, ”he said.

Stating that the free market conditions will be valid on the producer’s raw milk sales in the coming period, Solakoğlu said, “Producers who do not have a cooling tank receive approximately 11 TL. It’s enough? Although we are not making much money at this stage, we are at a price that will at least allow us to live a little, but lowering these prices leads to faster cow slaughter when beef prices are high. That is why it seems that the correct decision is not to upset the balance at this time.” PHOENIX
