The article highlights concerns raised by Seyyed Ghodratollah Eseini, the managing director of the Central Province Industrial Livestock Cooperative, about the impact of rising costs and the current state of the milk industry in Iran. He emphasizes that the recently approved milk price of 4,500 Tomans per kilo is not being met by factories, leading to a significant portion of milk being sold at lower prices. The high cost of barley and reduced government subsidies, along with increased costs for vaccines, medicines, and services, are squeezing farmers. Eseini calls for increased imports of necessary inputs and criticizes the current transportation pricing practices, warning of potential farm closures if these issues persist.
