Amul Plans to Export Dairy Products to Israel Soon

Amul — via its parent body GCMMF — is preparing to expand its exports to Israel significantly. Currently, it exports ghee, but managing director Jayen Mehta confirmed that the cooperative plans to ship a broader dairy portfolio soon, targeting not just the Indian diaspora but also the local Israeli market.

To make deeper inroads, Amul is seeking Kosher certification, a crucial step required to appeal to the mainstream Jewish market in Israel. Mehta noted that meeting Kosher standards will help Amul address not only the Indian community in Israel but also local consumers.

Beyond exports, Amul sees strategic long-term gains in collaborating with Israeli firms. Mehta, who is in Israel as part of a 60-member business delegation with India’s Commerce Minister, said Amul is exploring technology partnerships with Israeli companies to boost cattle productivity. He highlighted Israel’s proven expertise in animal feeding, nutrition, and management, which could help Amul improve productivity, especially in arid regions back in India.
