Industry Insight:
Festivals remain strong demand drivers for dairy, with ghee leading value growth. Strategic product innovation (e.g., 50-ml ghee packs, ready-to-eat payasam kits) boosted volumes. The trend underlines the importance of seasonal demand planning and product mix optimization for cooperatives and private dairies alike.
