Amul Increases Farmers' Income By Four-Fold In Seven Years
Results of the
apex body of dairy cooperatives in Gujarat were declared on 15th June 2017, in
the 43rd Annual General Meeting of GCMMF.
Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation Ltd, which markets the
popular Amul brand of milk and dairy products, has successfully
quadrupled the income of its dairy farmers in last seven years. During the
last seven years, Amul’s milk procurement prices to its farmer-members more
than doubled from Rs. 24.30 per litre for buffalo milk in 2009-10 to Rs. 49 per
litre in 2016-17. Since the cooperative’s total milk procurement also doubled
during this period, from 90.9 lakh litres per day to 176.5 lakh litres per day,
this effectively increased the income of its dairy farmers, four-fold in the
last seven years."
