Chikkaballapur is experiencing a milk revolution as farmer-friendly policies boost procurement to over 550,000 liters daily, enhancing farmers' prosperity.
Chikkaballapur, a district in Karnataka, India, is spearheading a transformative "milk revolution" through the efforts of the Chikkaballapur Milk Union (CHIMUL). Thanks to strategic initiatives designed to support local dairy farmers, the region has seen milk procurement soar to over 5.5 lakh liters per day.
CHIMUL’s approach includes innovative programs to assist producers, resulting in enhanced milk collection and improved farmers' income. The state government's involvement has been pivotal, offering competitive pricing at Rs 39.40 per liter and additional incentives of Rs 5 per liter deposited directly to farmers' bank accounts.
