Tamil Nadu Dairy Minister Seeks to Boost Milk Production
The Tamil Nadu Dairy Minister wants more farmers to join Aavin to produce more milk.
He opened a new shop selling paneer.
The state wants to make 40 lakh liters of milk each day.
Aavin pays farmers the same amount all year, unlike private companies.
Full-cream milk costs more because it has more fat.
The minister wants people to choose the milk with less fat because it's better for health.
During tough times, Aavin kept giving out milk when private companies didn't.
Tamil Nadu's Dairy Minister opened a paneer outlet in Coimbatore.
The minister invited more farmers to partner with Aavin.
The goal is to increase daily milk production to 40 lakh litres.
Aavin offers consistent pricing to farmers throughout the year.
