B.L. Kamdhenu Farms Ltd has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Sweden-based DeLaval. The partnership focuses on promoting a zero-waste economy and long-term sustainability in cattle breeding and dairy technology, with an investment of close to ₹1,500 crore.
A media statement said the collaboration is designed to leverage advanced technologies and farming solutions, including milking essentials, farm management and cow comfort. By integrating all components of the milk value chain – from feed requirements to waste management – the initiative aims to create a circular economy, driving both economic growth and environmental sustainability, it said.
The MoU was signed in the presence of Jan Thesleff, Ambassador of Sweden, at World Food India 2024.
