Pakistan Faces Milk Price Surge Amid Rising Inflation

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) in Pakistan has seen consistent hikes, significantly impacting household budgets and essential commodities. Milk, a dietary staple for millions, has not been immune to these shifts. Producers warn that without government intervention to stabilize production costs or subsidies for essential goods, consumers could face further price hikes.

Industry stakeholders have called for policy measures to support dairy farmers and ensure affordability for the public. The rising cost of milk is not only a concern for households but also impacts the broader food and beverage industry, which relies heavily on dairy as a raw material.

Experts suggest that inflationary pressures on basic goods like milk could deepen economic inequalities and reduce access to essential nutrition for lower-income households.
