The governing body meeting of the Milma Malabar Regional Union has demanded that India’s domestic market should not be opened for the sale of milk and milk products from the US under the guise of an FTA
Kerala Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation, popularly known as Milma, has objected to the signing of the FTA between India and the US, saying that it would have an adverse impact on the country’s dairy sector.
India is one of the leading producers of milk in the world which is produced by small and marginal farmers and a three-tier system in the co-operative sector. When low-cost milk and dairy products enter into the domestic market following the signing of the FTA, similar products currently being produced in India will face stiff and unhealthy competition. This will push the ordinary dairy farmers into severe financial losses, said K.S. Mani, Chairman, Milma.

Many of the achievements the country attained over the decades in the dairy sector will be lost and the future of sector will be jeopardised. Till date, milk and dairy products have not been included in any of the FTA’s signed by India and therefore, it should be adhered to in this agreement as well, he said.
