Summary

At a gathering in Sangli’s Indira Palace Hall, Maharashtra BJP chief Ravindra Chavan reaffirmed the government's commitment to advancing both farmer welfare and the dairy industry. He highlighted that cooperative-led dairy initiatives, initiated in 2021 across three talukas, now boast 120–130 milk collection centers, collectively handling over 40,000 liters daily. Chavan echoed confidence that, under strong central and state leadership, dairy can become a pillar of Maharashtra's aspiration to become a $1 trillion economy. He cited global models like Brazil and Germany, where value-added dairy exports have catalyzed rural prosperity and economic growth. Proposals include embracing new technologies and promoting exports to replicate similar success in Maharashtra’s dairy sector.

Industry Insight

For dairy stakeholders, Maharashtra’s cooperative emphasis presents a strategic opportunity: these bolstered collection networks and export-oriented ambitions could meaningfully improve farmer incomes and expand regional D2C capabilities.
