This year’s stellar performance marks a significant leap in the cooperative’s growth trajectory and highlights the booming demand within the festive Indian market. The ₹46 crore turnover surpassed the previous year’s festive sales of ₹33.48 crore from 724 tonnes of sweets, equating to a remarkable 38 percent year-over-year increase in business. Having set an ambitious target of 1,000 tonnes, KMF’s ability to exceed this goal underscores the strong strategic planning and early preparation by the federation and its extensive network.

KMF stands as a giant in India’s dairy cooperative sector, ranking as the second largest in the nation and the largest in South India. The cooperative network collects approximately one crore litres of milk daily across the state. Out of this massive daily procurement, about 65 lakh litres of milk and milk-based items, including curd, are efficiently distributed both within Karnataka and across several neighboring states, demonstrating significant logistical and supply chain prowess.

The cooperative’s market reach is substantial, utilizing the popular ‘Nandini’ brand to market an expansive portfolio of 175 products. These offerings go far beyond liquid milk and include high-demand categories such as ghee, butter, paneer, milk powder, and milk shakes, in addition to the successful line of festive sweets. These products are distributed to key Indian states including Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Goa, Kerala, Delhi, and Assam, showcasing its national footprint.
