Bengaluru, June 4: The Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) has set a new benchmark in the state’s dairy sector by collecting an all-time high of 1.06 crore litres of milk in a single day. This record, achieved from May 22 onwards, has been attributed to favourable pre-monsoon rains and improved availability of green fodder.
According to KMF, this marks the highest milk collection recorded in the past year, surpassing the previous high of 1 crore litres recorded on June 28 last year. The daily average collection has since seen a notable increase, reaffirming Karnataka’s position as a leading milk-producing state.
Favourable weather boosts dairy output
KMF officials cited early monsoon showers across several regions in Karnataka as a major contributing factor to the increased milk production. The availability of green fodder and the improved health of cattle have directly influenced the rise in daily yield. KMF now consistently collects over 1 crore litres of milk per day — a significant milestone in the state’s dairy development.
KMF launches 18 new cakes and muffins
In celebration of World Milk Day on June 1, KMF introduced 18 new varieties of cakes and muffins under its popular Nandini brand. The federation stated that these products, available in multiple flavours and sizes, offer superior quality and competitive pricing compared to leading private brands in the market.
Expanding product range beyond dairy
KMF and its affiliated milk unions already market over 150 products, including milk, curd, buttermilk, lassi, sweet and savoury snacks, Nandini halwa, bread, buns, and ice cream. With the addition of new bakery items, the product lineup continues to expand rapidly.
Cup cakes in five flavours
Among the newly launched products are five varieties of cup cakes in vanilla, chocolate, pineapple, strawberry, and mawa flavours. Each cake is packaged in 150-gram packs and is positioned as a fresh, tasty, and high-quality choice for consumers.
KMF’s latest achievement and product innovations underline its growing influence and commitment to excellence in the state’s cooperative dairy sector.
