A core component of this investment is the push toward value-added dairy products, aiming to capture higher returns and diversify the state’s dairy revenue streams. Furthermore, the MoU outlines plans to establish new Samadhan Centers across AP. These centers are designed as one-stop solution hubs specifically for oil palm farmers, underscoring a commitment that extends beyond the dairy segment to encompass broader agricultural development and support in the state.

The signing of the agreement took place in the presence of AP Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, alongside top executives including Sunil Kataria (MD & CEO of Godrej Agrovet) and Rakesh Swami (Group President – Corporate Affairs, Godrej Industries Group). Chief Minister Naidu underscored the necessity of strengthening the agri-food processing sector, stating it is “vital for farmers’ prosperity,” and voiced confidence that the partnership would drive both economic growth and the creation of sustainable livelihoods.

Godrej Agrovet leaders acknowledged the favorable environment fostered by the Andhra Pradesh administration. CEO Sunil Kataria praised the state for cultivating a “supportive ecosystem” and stated that the MoU serves as a “testimony of our intent” to empower farmers and advance India’s overall nutrition landscape. He reaffirmed GAVL’s mission to strengthen its food processing capabilities and contribute meaningfully to the growth of the larger agri-economy.
