Saadet Party Konya deputy Abdulkadir Karaduman, expressing that the milk producer had to cut the female animal in despair, announced by the Minister of Agriculture and Forest premium support would not be enough to save the manufacturer. Milk premium support is an investment of choice that expresses Karaduman dairy producer's livelihoods, the government is in trouble, he said.
Saadet Party Konya Deputy Abdulkadir Karaduman, made a written statement about the milk premium supports announced by Agriculture and Forestry Minister Bekir Pakdemirli the day before. Emphasizing that the dairy producer is in a big crisis and desperately cut the female animals, Karaduman said, “The producer expects urgent intervention in milk prices and the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry has increased the milk premium support to be paid to the producer in June at the earliest.
This year, the milk premium supports of July and August of this year without explaining the 2017 January, February, March months of the announcement of milk premium supporters emphasized that they said significant Karaduman, "cut a helpless female animal in the dairy farmers are concerned about how to save the government," he criticized.
Ministry of Agriculture and Forest 2019 January, February and March, milk premium support from the average of 10 cents to 25 cents of reminding Karaduman, milk premium support for the milk producer, but they found the increase in milk prices due to increased feed costs should be urgently noted. Reduction of 25 cents to 25 cents of milk premium supplements to the milk producer in June 2019 to pay attention to be paid close Karaduman, Feed prices are coming up every day. How can the manufacturer stand up to June, while not seeing the front? They are trying to convince the dairy producer to show death to the malaria by boosting their milk supplements.
While the milk producer has been waiting for the National Dairy Council to meet and increase milk prices, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry does not see it as a well-intentioned approach to increase milk premium subsidies. Karaduman, "We believe that it is an election investment. Because in the first three months of 2019, milk premium support payments will be made to the milk producer with a total of 571 million lira. So, how much milk premium support will be paid to the milk producer in the other 9 months of 2019? Here is a great enigma." he said.
Karaduman, who reminded that milk premium subsidies were increased before the June 24 elections, but then dropped, said: “If the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry wants to do something for the producer, it should collect the National Milk Council as soon as possible and increase the reference price. Otherwise, it is not possible for the producer to continue the production with the promised premium support in June. Although the price of milk reference for today is 1.70 pounds, Mr. Minister Bekir Pakdemirli knows very well that many producers in this region can not sell milk at this price. We have producers selling milk from 1.4 liras to 1.5 liras. How will feed prices and input prices increase, while our milk producer will survive with 1.4 liras of milk? For him, the National Dairy Council has to meet and the industrialist has to take his hand under the stone. If this is not done, our milk producer will sell milk to the industrialist at a low price, and if the government sells milk at a low price but will survive, it will reward the producer 6 months later. We cannot accept such an understanding of support."
