𝐈𝐂𝐄 𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐌 𝐈𝐒 𝐀𝐍 𝐀𝐆𝐑𝐎 𝐈𝐍𝐃𝐔𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐘. Most of the ingredients in the manufacture of frozen desserts can be categorised depending on their animal or vegetable origin. Apart from milk, major ingredients such as fruit purees, juices etc., are of vegetable origin, sourced directly from the farms and needless to mention, are directly agriculturally dependent. The other large chunk, though, is milk — ice creams have a minimum of 21% milk solids. In India, almost all of these ingredients are sourced from small and marginal farmers from the villages of our country. For many of them, this is their only livelihood and at IICMA Indian, we have been trying to empower them and uplift their living standards by procuring more raw materials. So yes, when it comes to the ice cream industry in India, we are proudly associated with the agro-industry. We support agriculture. And we are supported by it. #agroindustry #agroindustryindia Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare, Government of India

Is the milk in your morning coffee pure? In a recent milk survey in Delhi-NCR, local consumers were asked this question. 2 out of 3 respondents admitted that they doubted the purity of milk. Alarmingly, 96% believed their milk had travelled more than 250 km, affecting its quality. A decade earlier, in response to a 2006 World Bank report on malnutrition, the Karnataka government introduced eggs in the midday meal scheme. Parliamentarians who were vegetarians at the time argued eggs should be replaced by milk, but  the suggestion was discarded out of fear of adulteration. But in 2018, milk re-entered the mid-day meal scheme as part of Poshan Abhiyan. However, a FSSAI study in 2019 found that 41% of milk samples did not meet quality standards. The same year, a school in UP notoriously diluted 1 litre of milk with a bucket of water to serve 81 students. In 2023, the FDA in Mumbai seized 1900 litres of adulterated milk. This points to the gravity of the situation of milk adulteration in India. Dairy farming isn’t just a business but a way of life for countless marginal farmers. Slim profit margins, market fluctuations and a lack of awareness about safe milk handling practices are some of the real struggles of our dairy farmers.

Cooperation, Not Competition: The Key to Empowering Indian Farmers! In a remarkable success story, 120 farmers from Pollachi, Tamil Nadu, led by Mr R Ranjit Kumar, have transformed their future by exporting nutmeg directly to countries like Australia, Canada, and France—without middlemen. This collective effort has not only cut out exploitative practices but has also boosted their revenues to an impressive ₹3 crore. Of course, the journey has not been without its ups and downs.  Convincing the 120 farmers is not an easy task.  The farmers were trained in best practices in agriculture, segregation in to export quality and the rest and thus ensuring better realisation for the product. Yes from a Rs.300 per kg to 470 per kg. They are not going to rest with these.  They plan to integrate forward with value added products like jams, jelly and pickles etc that would add more money to the kitty. What’s the secret? The answer lies in cooperation. These farmers worked together to manage production, distribution, and export logistics as a united front.
