"The group turnover of GCMMF and
its constituent member unions, representing consolidated turnover of all
products sold under Amul brand is exceeding Rs 52,000 crore or USD 7 billion.
GCMMF aims to achieve a group business turnover of Rs 1 lakh crore by
2024-25," it said in a statement after the 42nd AGM held at Anand.
The consolidated turnover of the Amul brand of products exceeded
Rs 52,000 crore during 2019-20, the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing
Federation (GCMMF), which sells and produces Amul products, said on Saturday.
The federation said it aims to achieve a group business turnover of Rs 1 lakh
crore by 2024-25.
"The group turnover of
GCMMF and its constituent member unions, representing consolidated turnover of
all products sold under Amul brand is exceeding Rs 52,000 crore or USD 7
billion. GCMMF aims to achieve a group business turnover of Rs 1 lakh crore by
2024-25," it said in a statement after the 42nd AGM held at Anand.
The GCMMF said it registered a sales turnover of Rs 38,542 crore
in 2019-20, which is 17 per cent higher than the previous financial year.
A rapid expansion has helped
Amul record a turnover almost five times higher than Rs 8,005 crore in 2009-10,
it said.
Daily milk procurement was 215.96 lakh litre per
day in 2019-20, GCMMF said, quoting its Chairman Ramsinh Parmar.
"This enormous growth was a result of the high
milk procurement price paid to our farmer-members which has increased by 127
per cent, from Rs 337 per kg fat in the year 2009-10 to Rs 765 per kg fat in
the year 2019-20," the GCMMF said quoting Parmar.
Parmar further said that during lockdown, when
private milk firms stopped procuring from farmers, milk unions of Gujarat
procured an additional 35 lakh litres of milk per day, giving around Rs 800
crore extra to the rural milk producers.
India continues to be the world's largest producer
of milk, and is likely to retain its prime position with an annual growth rate
of 5.5 per cent during the last three to four years as against global growth of
2 per cent, GCMMF Vice Chairman Jethabhai Bharwad said.
GCMMF Managing Director RS Sodhi said the Rs 15,000
crore dairy infrastructure fund announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and
Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman for setting up supply chain and dairy
plants will help Indian dairy industry to build around 4 to 5 crore litres of
extra capacity.
"These extra five crore litres of milk collected
and processed by the organised dairy industry will provide livelihood to
approximately 30 lakh people in rural India.
