Kerala Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation Limited (Milma) is set to join hands with the Netherlands to produce ‘nutritious, high-quality organic milk’ without using synthetic feed or antibiotics while rearing the cattle. As many as five milk societies at Mullankolli in Wayanad have been identified for the project which will begin soon after getting the final clearance from the Dutch government. K.T. Thomas, Managing Director of Milma in the Malabar region, said a MoU is expected to be signed in this regard soon. “We are planning to implement organic milk project with the support of the Netherlands government,” he said.
“For this, we have joined hands with Solidaridad, a state-recognised NGO in the Netherlands and Trans-disciplinary University in Bengaluru which focuses on the promotion of traditional food, culture and treatment systems,” he added. – PTI
