Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday exhorted dairy farmers in Gujarat to make Amul “the world’s largest dairy brand”.
Speaking at the golden jubilee celebrations of Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), which owns the Amul brand and sells dairy products under the brand name, he highlighted Amul’s current status as the world’s “eighth largest dairy”. He said his government would support farners and help in expanding Amul to “make it the largest dairy producer in the world”.
“While the global dairy sector is developing at 2% per annum, India’s dairy sector is developing at 6%,” Modi said while addressing thousands of farmers who were assembled at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, where the celebration event was organised on Thursday.
