Milma Signs Agreement to Export Dairy Products to Australia and New Zealand
Milma, a dairy company from Kerala, has made a new deal to send its products to Australia and New Zealand.
They signed an agreement with two other companies, RG Foods and Midnightsun Global.
RG Foods will handle getting the products from Milma and sending them to Australia and New Zealand, making sure everything follows the rules there.
Midnightsun Global will help coordinate the process.
Milma already sells products in other countries, and they believe many people in Australia and New Zealand, especially those from Kerala, will enjoy their items.
In the beginning, they will send paneer, a type of cheese, payasam mix for a traditional dessert, and dairy whitener.
This is also good news for the dairy farmers who own Milma because the company shares a lot of its profits with them.
Milma has signed a tripartite MoU to export its dairy products to Australia and New Zealand.
RG Foods will manage logistics, customs, and distribution, while Midnightsun Global will act as a coordinating partner.
The initial export products will include paneer, payasam mix, and dairy whitener.
Milma Chairman K. S. Mani cited the significant Non-Resident Keralite (NRK) populations in the target countries as a key market opportunity.
The expansion is expected to benefit dairy farmers, to whom Milma distributed 92.5% of its profits last year.
