Cargills Lanka Milk

OBJECTIVES OF THE PROGRAMME

For Sri Lankans, consuming milk is not a novel experience. Milk and milk related products had been identified as the best source of nourishment for centuries. We used to say "Kiriyen peniyen ithirewa", when we need to wish someone prosperity. Milk has been so close to our lives as a symbol of prosperity, good luck and good health.

During the recent past, the country faced with a shortage in the supply of fresh milk to cater the local market requirements, thereby compelling the government to import milk related products.

These are the circumstances which prompted Cargills to pioneer a project to process fresh milk and distribute it to the door steps of the households, which is also in line with the government's long term programme for boosting national nourishment levels.

The two main objectives of the programme are to improve nourishment levels of Sri Lankan consumers and to give milk farmers a reasonable price for their milk. Also this would be a relief for the busy house wives as they are able to get the milk requirement delivered to their door steps.

Another objective of this programme is to provide opportunities for local milk farmers to sell their products at a competitive price as Cargills has planned to collect milk through 48 cooperative milk collection centers and process it at their state of the art factory - Cargills Quality Dairies under strict quality control systems and best hygiene practices.

We invite the Consumers to enjoy a fresh experience with Cargills Lanka Milk.
