The Kerala Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation, known as Milma, has threatened to source milk directly from farmers in Karnataka in a development that is likely to escalate a simmering row between the milk unions of the two neighboring states. Milma has opposed the sale of Karnataka milk federation’s Nandini dairy products in Kerala. Milma’s Ernakulam regional union chairman MT Jayan said that the Kerala milk federation is opposed to the Karnataka milk federation's attempts to sell Nandini milk in Kerala. “Milma buys milk from cooperative federations in other states, including Karnataka, by paying a higher price than the selling price in Kerala to ensure the availability of milk in Kerala," MT Jayan said.
