In a major decision which could increase milk production and benefit dairy farmers in the state, the Goa government has granted permission to Amul to set up a second dairy in the state at Kundaim. The first dairy in the state was set up by Goa Dairy.Surat district co-operative milk producers union limited (SUMUL), which entered Goa market under the brand name of Amul, will now procure milk directly from producers in the state which was earlier done only by Goa Dairy. The state’s requirement is 4.5 lakh litres per day while the state is producing only above 40,000 litres per day.
