Everyone knows
that India is the largest producer of milk in the world. Where we fail is
chilling facilities.
The challenge with
milk to stay fresh is that the temperature has to be reduced to under 4 degrees
as quickly as possible to avoid it from being curdled.
Curdling is
process of bacterial formation.
Most farmers in
India have 5-10 cows and cooperative companies like Amul, Nandini, Gokul etc
collect the produce and mix it in their tankers of a particular village where each
farmer is expected to drop off. It is then transported to the nearest
production facility, pasteurized and made fit for drinking. This reduces the shelf
life of the milk collected.
On a global
scale when a farmer has cow/buffalo farms they usually has 100+ cows, plenty of
acreage of land. There is government support on investment for investing on a
chiller unit. The milk is produced, stored, pasteurized and distributed thereon
increasing the shelf life.
This blog post is
a plea to government, private equity players, large investors, passionate
farming individuals interested to go into dairy to consider tapping into this
market.
Business Model-
1.
Create a
huge farm with government support. Land can be long term leased at nominal rates.
2.
Invest in buying
the cows.
3.
Invest in
Chiller units with government manufacturing subsidies.
4.
Bring in
PE investors
5.
Monetize
the business by taking it public
This is where you start
