In 2018, KDPL in partnership with 2SCALE conducted a pilot to test a new model by offering an alternate profitable market option through marketing of low-cost flavoured yoghurt. In the coming years, the partnership hopes to scale production and distribution (targeting BoP markets) of yoghurt and support commencement of milk pasteurisation. Also they aim to increase farmers income (including women and youth) by promoting eco-efficient technologies and processes that boost milk production and enhance quality.
