KMF procures milk from over 2.6 million dairy farmers through its member district milk unions, processes it, and markets a range of milk and dairy products under the ‘Nandini’ brand.

Recently, KMF began distributing Nandini sachet milk, curd and buttermilk in Delhi, as part of its ongoing growth strategy.

However, despite consistent milk shipments from Karnataka to Delhi, KMF has faced challenges in meeting sales expectations. Presently, the cooperative is selling only about 15,000 litres of milk per day in Delhi, leading to logistical hurdles and operational inefficiencies. B Shivaswamy, MD of KMF, said, “A primary reason for this is the difficulties faced by our new milk processing unit at Hathras, Uttar Pradesh, in ensuring timely milk delivery in the national capital, 280 km away. To address this issue and broaden our market presence, we are now focusing on expanding the sale of Nandini milk in surrounding urban areas, including Mathura, Agra, Meerut and Aligarh.”
