Complete solutions for the dairy industry in India

India's Dairy Industry has achieved great success in milk production, processing, conversion of milk into value-added products, storage, distribution, marketing and exports of milk products during the last five decades. India has gained the top position in milk production globally, with an annual production of 198.40 million tonnes during 2019-20. Today India not only produces enough milk for its consumption but also exports sizeable quantities of milk & milk products.

India International Dairy Expo offers an ideal business platform to dairy industry solution providers for networking and displaying their services and solutions first-hand in a LIVE environment alongside key decision-makers from the dairy manufacturing and farming sectors. This is a comprehensive platform for all the dairy stakeholders and professionals in the dairy fraternity.

The comprehensive production facility will be displayed at a special edition of the India International Dairy Expo 2022, with dairy industry service providers presenting their innovations and product offerings in the sector with the solution set, including processing, packaging, filling technology, pouch packaging, milk analyzers, and dairy ingredients.

Shridhar Mehta, managing director, Prompt DairyTech, said, "I would state one and probably the most important challenge of all - manual operations and poor data recording practices. This led to a lack of transparency and unfair payment to farmers. Technology adoption has started taking pace in our sector to bring in transparency and that is precisely what we are aiming at."

"India International Dairy Expo 2022 (IIDE) is a perfect place to network; they bring together key players in this industry and it's a mix of a very focused audience. DGV is pleased to participate in IIDE 2022, as we look forward to increasing our brand presence by being a one-stop platform in the entire Dairy Ecosystem,” shared Ragavan Venkatesan - founder, managing director & chief executive officer, Digivriddhi Technologies (DGV).

At India International Dairy Expo special edition 2022, stakeholders in the dairy industry will get an opportunity to network with senior professionals and generate business avenues in a safe business environment. Exhibitors will connect with the right buyers and learn key industry trends while staying ahead of the competition.

Consumers are increasingly concerned about the quality, safety, and hygiene of food products, including dairy. This is expected to boost the growth of the value-added dairy segment within India's organised dairy market. There is growing change in preference from loose products to packaged products. Categories like liquid milk, curd, paneer, and sweets have experienced this trend, which mainly benefits the organized sector. Companies with a strong retail penetration have realized immediate benefits. However, companies with a commodity and business-to-business focus will desperately push toward being consumer-focused in the coming years.

"We feel increase in demand of the aseptically packed product at an affordable price in environment-friendly packaging. We suggest milk to be packed aseptically in environment-friendly PET-packaging material so that final product can be available at an affordable price,” said Paresh Limbochiya, deputy general manager - Business Development, KHS India.
