Federation to procure tapioca to use in cattle feed production
The Kerala Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (Milma), the apex cooperative for milk procurements and sales, has in principle approved a plan to procure tapioca to be added as part of cattle feed being produced in the State. Milma sources said the federation was open to the idea of using tapioca in cattle feed production, provided tapioca was supplied in dried form. If the produce was dried and supplied, it could be used as part of cattle feed, said Milma Chairman P.A. Balan on Monday. He said tapioca farmers were in dire straits at present as they were unable to sell their produce for reasonable rates. Milma was ready to come to their help under such circumstances, he said.More Related News
