Milky Mist - Budget 2026 Reaction Quote
We welcome the Union Budget and its clear emphasis on strengthening the cooperative backbone of India’s agricultural economy. Measures such as extending tax deductions to cattle feed supplied by primary cooperatives and rationalising inter-cooperative dividend taxation go beyond short-term relief and address structural challenges faced by dairy farmers. For the dairy sector, farm-level cost stability and financially resilient cooperatives are essential to ensuring consistent milk productivity, quality assurance and long-term supply security. As a dairy company built on deep farmer partnerships, we believe these reforms will encourage greater investment in productivity, animal nutrition and infrastructure at the grassroots level. A stronger cooperative ecosystem ultimately creates a more sustainable, transparent and future-ready dairy value chain-one that can support India’s growing demand for high-quality, value-added dairy products.”
