According to DDC deputy general manager and information officer, Rajendra Prasad Adhikari, the revised prices are for across the country.
As per the decision of the Council of Ministers on March 3, Rs 65 has been fixed as a minimum purchase price of raw milk containing four unit fat and milk containing solid milk particles without eight unit fat from farmers.
