Sarhad Dairy of Kutch is preparing to open its milk processing plant in Chandrani village, Anjar taluka, with a capacity of four lakh litres per day. The dairy intends to manufacture peda, kaju katli, honey, and fruit juice at his plant and sell them under the Amul brand. Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone for this Rs 130 crore plant in December 2020.
Following the completion of the new facility, the dairy will produce four lakh litres of milk per day, up from the current capacity of five lakh litres.
Sarhad Dairy‘s chairman, Valamji Humbal, stated, “The dairy will be able to process whole milk in the Chandarni factory after the new facility is completed, saving it a significant amount of money on transportation costs. In the future, we intend to manufacture peda, kaju katli, and honey”.
“The dairy has conducted a poll of honey producers and will make arrangements to buy from them. Honey is produced by many farmers in Kutch, but they do not have access to a broader market. We’ll start by getting honey and shipping it to honey-processing dairies in Banas and Gandhinagar”, he added.
