THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Milma has set an all-time record in the sale of milk, curd and other dairy products during the Onam days from August 20 to 23, marking a sharp increase from last year’s figures.
The total sale of milk during these days stood at 79,86,916 litres, marking an increase of 6.64% from the Onam days last year. A record quantity of 32,81,089 litres of milk was sold on the Thiruvonam day alone (August 21), showing an increase of 11.85% from last year.
Milma also sold 8,49,717kg of curd during these days. On Thiruvonam day alone, 3,31,971kg of curd was sold against last year’s 3,18,418 kg, marking an increase of 4.86%.
Apart from the direct supply of these staple items through its extensive sales network across the state, Milma provided 425 metric tonnes of ghee to be included in the Onam Kits supplied by the Kerala State Civil Supplies Corporation.
It is significant that Milma, along with its three regional unions, has been able to supply such a large quantity of these items in a time-bound manner despite severe constraints caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
In addition to these basic items, other products of Milma such as butter, palada payasam mix, peda and flavoured milk were also supplied in sufficient quantities to meet the festival demand. tnn
