The Telangana Dairy Development Cooperative Federation Ltd (TDDCF), which promotes Vijaya Dairy, has decided to increase milk procurement to 6 lakh litres a day over the next few months from 4.4 lakh litres a day currently, according to its Chairman Gutha Amith Reddy.
“Though we are procuring 4.4 lakh litres a day, we are selling 3.20 lakh litres a day. We are converting the surplus to make value-added products. Strengthening milk procurement and market absorption remains a key priority,” he added.
He was addressing a conference on ‘Innovations and Opportunities in Dairy Entrepreneurship: From Farm to Market’, jointly organised by the Federation of Telangana Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FTCCI) and the Indian Dairy Association here on Friday.
He said the cooperative would expand its Vijaya Dairy parlour network by setting up 400 to 500 new parlours over the next three to four years to boost its sales.
Amith Reddy asked entrepreneurs to utilise this opportunity to open parlours in different parts of the state.
He said the cooperative recently opened 50 parlours in the GHMC (Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation) limits and another 25 in rural areas. “We will open another 25 next month,” he said in a statement.
