Milma's Global Thirst: Eyes on Export Markets to Hit ₹10,000 Crore

The Kerala Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation (KCMMF), popularly known as Milma, has set an ambitious goal of reaching a ₹10,000 crore business turnover by 2030. To achieve this, the cooperative is prioritizing expansion into export markets and upcountry regions.

Operating on the successful Anand model, Milma offers a diverse portfolio of over 150 milk-based and ready-to-eat products. The federation recorded a turnover of ₹4,500 crore in the last fiscal year.

Milma Chairman K.S. Mani outlined the strategic roadmap to reach the 2030 target in a conversation with BusinessLine. “We have drawn up a comprehensive business plan focused on strengthening our distribution networks in overseas markets and major Indian metros, expanding our product range, and ensuring consistent quality and improved packaging,” he said.

Mani noted strong consumer interest in Milma’s ready-to-eat offerings. However, he acknowledged the challenge of limited shelf life and confirmed that the cooperative is developing new instant food products with extended shelf life to better serve international markets.
