Assam Exports First Dairy Products to Bhutan

Assam Exports First Dairy Products to Bhutan

Assam has sent its first-ever commercial export of dairy products to Bhutan.

The state government, led by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, flagged off a consignment of 5,627 litres of Purabi Premium ice cream.

This ice cream comes in flavors like butterscotch, chocolate, and mango.

The milk used is sourced from dairy farmers across Assam.

This export is a big step for Assam's dairy sector, which has been supported by the World Bank.

The ice cream will be sold in major cities in Bhutan like Thimphu, Paro, and Wangdue.

This achievement shows the success of the state's efforts to improve its dairy industry over the past five years.
