Vadodara: Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (Amul) has recorded a sharp rise in dairy exports to West Asia, capitalising on supply disruptions in the region caused by ongoing geopolitical tensions, which have opened up new demand opportunities for Indian dairy products. According to officials, exports of key products such as milk powder, butter, and ghee have increased significantly, with the cooperative stepping in to fill supply gaps across multiple West Asian markets.
The surge comes as countries in the region face constraints in sourcing dairy products, prompting buyers to turn to India, where Amul has leveraged its large-scale production capacity and established supply chains to meet rising demand. The development marks a notable shift for India’s dairy sector, traditionally focused on domestic consumption, as export volumes gain momentum in response to global market disruptions.
Amul’s ability to scale exports quickly reflects the strength of its cooperative model, ensuring consistent milk procurement and processing capabilities, while also supporting farmer incomes through expanded market access. Industry observers note that this export push could further strengthen India’s position in global dairy trade if geopolitical conditions continue to influence supply-demand dynamics.
The trend highlights how external crises can reshape trade flows, with Indian dairy players like Amul emerging as key beneficiaries by tapping into international demand, reinforcing the country’s growing role in the global dairy export landscape.
