The figures indicate growth across both liquid milk and other dairy product categories, with MRCMPU contributing the largest turnover among the regional unions.
Higher Sales and Milk Procurement
Milma chairman K. S. Mani attributed the performance to consumer confidence in the brand and the quality of its products. He said the increase in turnover also translated into higher milk procurement from dairy farmers affiliated with Milma’s cooperative network.
According to Mani, the federation and regional unions have taken measures to increase milk production and productivity while maintaining a focus on farmers’ welfare.
Milma operates through its three regional cooperative unions, connecting dairy farmers with milk procurement, processing and marketing networks across Kerala. The latest results highlight the role of the cooperative network in supplying milk and dairy products to the state’s market.
