fiogf49gjkf0d Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) has now set its eyes on Africa as an export destination.
As part of this programme, KMF’s Nandini milk would be exported to South Africa through Vanya Food Exports Pvt. Ltd. In this regard, the state’s Chief minister Siddaramaiah flagged off a 16,800 litre milk container that will be shipped to South Africa.
“We are getting many enquiries from African countries for Nandini milk. Indians living there want to savour the goodness of Nandini products,” said A S Premanath, MD, KMF, Bengaluru.
The federation has tapped a substantial export potential in 23 countries. In its Africa Safari, it would ensure that its Nandini milk brand would be available in countries such as Senegal, Guinea, Mali, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Ghana, Togo, Congo, Algeria, Libya, South Sudan, Kenya and Angola.

It also awarded the highest milk pourer and the best Nandini milk agent which was one man and woman from each of its 13 district milk unions. The Nandini wholesale dealers who sold highest amounts of milk products in Karnataka were also honoured.
Further KMF recognised the first and second rank holders of the 2014 SSLC and PUC examinations of Karnataka. Besides it also honored milk producers and Nandini wholesale dealers’ children who secured highest marks in SSLC examination,2014 - one from each district. In addition it also honoured the children of KMF and its Union employees, who secured highest marks in SSLC & PUC examinations in 2014 in Karnataka.
As part of its efforts to strengthen domestic market presence, KMF has opened new depots in New Delhi,Jammu & Kashmir, Assam (Guwahati), West Bengal, Tamil Nadu (Chennai and Tiruchi), Maharashtra (Nagpur) and Goa.
