The Surat District Co-operative Milk Producers Union of Gujarat will expand its operations in Goa, with a view to benefitting dairy farmers there.
The Goa govt. has issued a notification, allowing the Gujarat dairy cooperative union to establish the Amul pattern of dairy business in Goa.
The Goa is hopeful that the Gujarat cooperative entity will work for the benefit of dairy business and will directly procure milk from the milk producers.
Meanwhile, some political leaders have condemned the government’s decision to permit Gujarat-based Surat District Cooperative Milk Producers Union to establish its dairy farms in Goa. This would destroy the possibilities of dairy development in Goa, they warned.
