Minister for Cooperation Subhash Shirodkar on Friday said the government will introduce the concept of 'support price' for dairy farmers with a dynamic monthly price.Shirodkar, who addressed a press conference at the Secretariat to announce awards for cooperative societies said the government will pay milk producers the difference between the support price and the procurement price offered by Goa Dairy.
Most of Goa's dairy farmers supply milk they produce to the Goa Dairy through collection centres across the State.
Shirodkar also said that the government also wants to reach out to the fishing community through co-operatives.
Speaking about the awards, Shirodkar said cooperative societies with the best performance will be picked for the awards. He said individuals with longstanding contributions to the State's cooperative sector will also be rewarded for their best performance.
