Moreover, extreme safety and hygiene precautions were implemented and sustained to ensure that milk production continued despite any escalation in the coronavirus outbreak.

The company has always been intently focused on meeting the country’s domestic milk demand while uplifting the socio-economic status of local dairy farmers.
