World Trade Center, Dubai | 27th January
In a remarkable demonstration of Farmers First values and cooperative unity beyond competition, Shri Ashokbhai Motapariya, Chairman of Amul, inaugurated the Nandini stall at the Gulfood Expo held at the World Trade Center, Dubai, on 27th January. The moment stood as a powerful symbol of India’s cooperative spirit, showcasing unity and mutual respect on a global platform.
Cooperation beyond competition
Though Amul and Nandini operate independently, both remain strong pillars of India’s cooperative dairy movement, united by a shared mission of farmer welfare, empowerment, and quality excellence. The inauguration highlighted that while healthy competition exists in markets, cooperation lies at the heart of the cooperative philosophy.
Exploring international opportunities
KMF Managing Director Sri B. Shivaswamy actively participated in the expo, engaging with international buyers, trade delegates, and industry stakeholders. His interactions reflected KMF’s clear vision to expand the global footprint of the Nandini brand, explore new export opportunities, and position Nandini as a trusted symbol of Indian dairy excellence in international markets.
This occasion truly reflected the spirit of “ Cooperation among Cooperatives ”, sending a strong message to the global audience at Gulfood—when Indian cooperatives stand together, they not only uplift farmers but also reinforce India’s leadership in the global dairy sector.
