Tridge summary

Farmers in the Söğütgedigi village of Bayramiç district are protesting the low prices paid for goat and sheep milk, affecting around 5,000 families who have increased milk production. The farmers are demanding that goat's milk be priced 1.5 times more than cow's milk and sheep's milk twice the price of cow's milk. They argue that the increased costs of fuel, fodder, and shepherds necessitate higher prices. The future of Ezine cheese, made with sheep and goat milk, is under threat if the current pricing continues, and the farmers are waiting for the National Dairy Council to set fair prices for small and large dairy producers.
