Ankara Metropolitan Municipality took action after the National Milk Council made a 14 percent increase in raw milk prices, effective as of October 2022, 13,3.

Baskent Market Branches, Factory Outlets and Baskent Buffets, operating within the body of Ankara Public Bread Factory, which provides services for the people of Ankara to reach healthy, hygienic and affordable food, started discounted pasteurized milk sales that will last for 1 month.

Affordable pasteurized milk procured from producer cooperatives in the capital was offered for sale in five liters each.

22 PERCENT DISCOUNT

While the 13,3 percent increase in raw milk made by the National Dairy Council was not reflected in the milk sold at 13 sales points belonging to the Public Bread Factory, approximately 22 percent was discounted. The selling price of 80 liters of pasteurized milk, which should have been sold at an average price of 5 TL, was reduced to 65,50 TL.

Stating that 5 liters of pasteurized milk obtained from a cooperative operating in Çubuk, will be sold at a discount for 1 month with the application implemented with the Başkent Market project, Veterinarian Mutlu Ergün, who is working at the Halk Bread Factory, said, “The National Dairy Council gave 13,3 percent to raw milk. He made a great raise. As a result of the negotiations with our teammates, Halk Ekmek management and our cooperatives, local milk producers were supported, and as a result of the sacrifice of our cooperatives and management, 80 liters of pasteurized milk, which was sold at 5 TL in the market, was offered for sale at 65,50 TL at our Başkent Market points. Our aim in this application is to prevent female slaughter and to deliver quality, reliable and healthy milk to the consumer at an affordable price.”
