He also linked the increase in turnover to higher milk procurement from dairy farmers associated with Milma’s cooperative network. According to the chairman, the federation and its regional unions have undertaken measures to improve milk production and productivity while protecting farmers’ welfare.
Cooperative dairy sector continues to expand
Milma’s performance highlights the role of cooperative dairy networks in connecting milk producers with processing, product manufacturing and consumer markets. Sustained growth in sales can create opportunities to strengthen procurement systems, improve processing capacity and expand the market for value-added dairy products.
The reported increase in turnover also underscores the importance of productivity improvement and farmer participation in sustaining the cooperative dairy business model.
