Milk prices for residents in Sukkur fell from RS200 to RS240 per liter to Rs100 to Rs120 per liter which provides essential price relief during high inflation. Many milk vendors at Shalimar, Purana Sukkur, and Tanga (Horse) Stand reduced their prices to help their neighborhood residents.
The decision stands opposite to what dairy farmers in Karachi are discussing because they want to rise milk prices due to government tax hikes. The local administration in Gadap Town and Super Highway raised animal taxes by Rs700 per animal followed by Ibrahim Hyderi Town adding another Rs400 per animal to dairy farmer expenses in Karachi. The tax demand from administrative bodies will likely drive milk costs further up although they already sell for Rs220 per liter throughout the metropolitan district.
People of Sukkur support the new lower milk prices because milk sellers show understanding for their difficult financial situation. The price reduction offers hope to people dealing with increased living costs through market actions in their community.
