Sourse: dairynews.today
India's ambitious plan to unite 2 million dairy farmers under the Sardar Patel Cooperative Dairy Federation aims to enhance efficiency and secure economic stability.
In a significant stride towards modernizing the milk industry, India has announced the formation of the Sardar Patel Cooperative Dairy Federation (SPCDF), aiming to unite 2 million dairy farmers from 20 states. This initiative, reminiscent of the historic 'White Revolution,' seeks to consolidate the efforts of around 20,000 village-level milk collection centers ('mandalis'), producing an estimated 10 million liters of milk daily.
The federation's governance will include representation from the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation and other key dairy unions, focusing on boosting operational efficiency and profitability for farmers. This cooperative strategy not only strengthens the economic fabric of rural India but also aims to enhance India's presence in the global dairy market, promising fair pricing and increased income stability for millions of households.
The SPCDF thus marks a potent evolution in India's journey towards dairy excellence, envisioned to empower its milk producers while paving the path for continued agribusiness growth.
