Currently, the local liquid milk industry is facing many problems, most affected by the government levying a 5% tax on packages imported for packaging liquid milk.
A spokesman for the government said that several requests had been made to the government to remove the tax for the liquid milk industry.
However, the board points out that in a context where milk powder is not imported, the imposition of such a tax on local liquid milk has affected the industry as well as its machinery.
The Livestock Resources Board states that although some parties have proposed to increase the price of liquid milk due to the imposition of a 5% tax on packaged milk, no decision has been taken so far.
