support KDDC in improving and upscaling dairy processing
Kamdhenu Dairy Development Cooperative is a farmer led organization in the eastern part of Nepal with a dual membership model. Membership is open for primary cooperatives (45) and also for individuals (230). Members come from the entire supply chain of dairy products: dairy farmers & cooperatives for milk supply staff members of the cooperative for processing & distribution and retailers for the sale to consumers. About 10.000 (small) dairy farmers are indirect members of the cooperative and deliver milk to the cooperative. The cooperative provides two main services to the members: dairy processing and financial services. Since April 2016 a new Board of Directors and Audit Committee was elected. The daily operation is managed by a management team with both experienced and junior managers. Since April 2016 the previous Finance and administrative officer is taken up the position as interim general manager. The current product portfolio includes milk yoghurt ghee paneer khoa and butter selling around average 14.000 litres per day with some seasonal fluctuations. Production of milk is around 14.000 liters per day in line with the sales. Market opportunities are good . The capacity of the current factory is 25.000 litres large enough for the coming 2 years to handle the current production. Aim is to grow in two years time towards 22.000 liters a day. This will require cleaning up and rearranging of the current factory requiring limited investments only. A clear strategy and focus on the implementation of the strategy will help KDDC to make a gradual grow and get ready for the possible next step: moving and expanding the processing factory after 2 years time.
