Bengaluru: The Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) has started export of Nandini ghee to Australia, Saudi Arabia, and USA. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, on Tuesday, flagged off the initiative. At present, there is a demand for eight metric tonnes of ghee from Saudi Arabia, five metric tonnes from USA, and one metric tonnes from Australia.
Nandini products have been in high demand in many countries and the KMF, through a franchisee model, had set up a Cafe Moo in Saudi Arabia and started the export of Nandini ghee, cheese, ice cream, butter and a few other products in 2023.
In August this year, KMF had put up a stall at the ‘Vishwa Kannada Samavesha’ summit that was held at Florida.
Over the years, there has been huge demand for Nandini products from many countries, especially where the population of Indians is high. KMF already exports a large number of products to countries like Dubai, Qatar, Maldives, and Singapore.
