Dairy Development Corporation Improves Raw Milk Quality Following Prime Minister's Office Directive

Kathmandu. Following a directive from the Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers, the quality of raw milk collected by the Dairy Development Corporation (DDC) has significantly improved. The improvement in quality is due to the strict implementation of standards by the DDC for improving the quality of raw milk.

According to DDC General Manager Dr. Sharan Kumar Pandey, following the Prime Minister's Office's directive, arrangements have been made to immediately remove suspicious milk consignments, and the criteria for 'fat' and 'SNF' in milk procurement have been revised to prioritize the purchase of high-quality milk. DDC's chilling centers collect milk based on fat and SNF, send it for transit, and its quality is re-tested in the laboratory upon reaching the project.
