In the inaugural address at the 67th All India Co-operative Week convention Karnataka Cooperative Minister S T Somashekar announced that a mega dairy will come up in 100 acres of land at Belagavi. The Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) had organised the event.
Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) chairman Balachandra Jarkiholi has appealed to farmers, especially those in the northern districts, to switch to dairy farming and animal husbandry from crops such as sugarcane to earn better profits.
KMF had charted plans to double its turnover to ₹ 25,000 crore from ₹ 15,000 crore in five years.
KMF started with a total procurement of 9,000 litres of milk per day, 40 years ago. Now, we are procuring around 89 lakh litres per day. But we hope to double the procurement amount in five years, added Balachandra Jarkiholi.
Nandini Ice cream was also launched on the occasion.
Hi
Would like to know can we join or get connected with daily farming of Kmf….. Directly or indirectly
As we have farms around 20 acres in belgaum itself
U can connect to KMF by becoming a member in dairy cooperative society near by u.
Need your kind support & guidance for starting a small dairy and then expand.
Do you mean processing unit or dairy farm
Very glad to learn about this giant dairy my suggestion is state should seek for centre’s help in getting grant & funds for the same Amul dairy prospered as it was funded by union govt.of India under (NDDB) National dairy development board.
Bangalore dairy was handling about 4lpd when kmf took place. Then how it was 9000 lpd statement
I wish all success to the venture. Belgam is having good soil with good innocent farmers. Pl educate them clearly.
What is the Water source and how far from farm
