A 3 Million Euro Dairy Farm Supported by Ethical Banking
The Simentalac Association and BIZ dairy farm are forming a cooperative to make them independent from resellers and traders
The family dairy farm BIZ from the Požega Golden Valley, the Kutjevo association Simentalac and Cooperative for Ethical Financing (ZEF) have joined their potential in a joint project called “I Make Milk”, presented on Thursday to residents of the Croatian capital with the slogan Brunch on Flower Square, Poslovni Dnevnik reports on June 25, 2016.
The goal of this trefoil is to divert attention of the public to the problem of the endangered dairy sector, especially small producers, while motivating citizens and business structures to donate through a campaign lasting until July 15 and support the dairy farm, boosting ten social programs and enabling dairy supply for several institutions and public kitchens in Zagreb that care for lower income population groups.
Dairy farmers find the going tough
Dairy farming, which has been proposed and encouraged on an extensive basis in the district as an alternative livelihood for the drought-ridden farmers is fast losing its charm among the farmers, if the recent agitations by them are any indication.
In all, more than 35,000 farmers are involved in commercial dairy farming of which close to 10,000 sell their milk to the Andhra Pradesh Dairy Development Cooperative Federation (APDDCF).
The Federation has been procuring around 50,000 litres (50 kl) of milk during the lean season and a little over that during the peak season, having a pasteurising capacity of 50 kl per day.
Government allows 100% FDI for online grocery startups
In a boost to retailers and grocery startups such as Bigbasket and Grofers, the government on Monday allowed 100% FDI in food retail, including through e-commerce, provided such items are produced, processed or manufactured in the country.
This will allow multi-brand retail giants such as Walmart to look at their food business here closely and perhaps even foray into B2C food retail. Currently, the US giant operates a B2B business here since FDI in multi-brand retail is not allowed. The US retailer has built a strong backend infrastructure in food. Similarly, the move will help Indian hyper-local grocery startups raise funds more easily.
