Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) is the largest cooperative dairy federation in South India and the second largest in India, owned and managed by over 2 million milk producers through more than 10,500 village-level Dairy Cooperative Societies across Karnataka. Functioning through 16 District Milk Unions, KMF’s mission is to usher rural prosperity through sustainable dairy development. Over four decades, KMF has transformed Karnataka from a milk-deficit to a milk-surplus state by adopting the AMUL/ANAND cooperative model under World Bank–aided Operation Flood programs. With the motto “Quality Excellence from Cow to Consumer,” KMF ensures high-quality milk and milk products across procurement, processing, and marketing, offered to consumers under the trusted “Nandini” brand at competitive prices. KMF plays a pivotal role in marketing, balancing surplus and deficit milk among unions, and linking rural producers with urban consumers, thereby driving socio-economic development across the state.
