Australia-based Australian agri-tech company MoooFarm said on Monday that it will train two lakh Indian dairy farmers by 2020 to develop their skills in areas like cattle nutrition with a view to increase farmers’ income by at least 20 per cent.
MoooFarm will train the farmers through UDAY, a skill development firm, which is its partner in India. The firm said it will also launch a hashtag called #TheColorofMilk on the occasion of National Milk Day, asking people to find the purity of milk.
“Our master trainers are providing content to farmers to scale up, through village-level entrepreneurs. Our target States include Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, Haryana and Odisha,” MoooFarm Founder Param Singh told PTI.
Around 68.7 per cent of milk and milk products sold in the country are not as per the standards of the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), an official of the Animal Welfare Board had said in September.
