In B2B dairy processing, the quality of Skimmed Milk Powder, Premium Butter, and Pure Ghee is established long before the milk enters the processing machinery. It is defined at the farm gate. If the raw milk is not collected hygienically, chilled immediately, and transported rapidly, the final ingredients will suffer from high bacterial loads and off-flavors. Recognizing this, Krushi Foods has established an integrated sourcing model at our Sinnar processing center, placing milk procurement at the heart of our operations.
The Sinnar Procurement Ecosystem
Krushi Foods' manufacturing facility in Dapur, Sinnar, is located in one of Maharashtra's densest milk-producing zones. Within a 50 km radius of our plant, local farmers generate a milk pool of over 15 lakh liters daily (Page 17). This high local availability forms the baseline of our raw material sourcing.
To manage this vast ecosystem, Director Mrs. Manisha Sharad Avhad leads our Dairy Operations & Procurement division (Page 7). Her team coordinates:
- Direct Farmer Relationships: By engaging directly with dairy farmers, Krushi Foods ensures fair pricing, veterinary support, and high feed quality, building a loyal supply network.
- Hygienic Sourcing Terminals: Setting up clean milk collection centers with automated fat and SNF testing setups prevents mixing of contaminated milk.
- Rapid Chilling Centers: Chilling milk to 4°C immediately after milking stops bacterial multiplication, preserving milk solids.
Expanding Sourcing through Cooperative Alliances
In addition to our local procurement network, Krushi Foods de-risks its supply chain by partnering with major regional dairy cooperatives. We are active in discussions to join hands with the Surat Milk Union, Panchmahal Milk Union, Bharuch Milk Union, and One Farm Milk Union (Page 13). Sourcing from these established unions allows Krushi Foods to maintain a stable, massive daily milk intake, securing our 3.5 Lakh LPD processing capacity (Page 2).
"Traceability is the ultimate quality control. Sourcing directly from farmers means Krushi Foods knows exactly what goes into our milk powder, butter, and ghee."
Advantages for B2B Procurement Teams
When FMCG brands onboard Krushi Foods as their dairy supplier, they are not just buying dairy ingredients; they are buying into a secure sourcing model. Our direct integration model guarantees:
- Purity and Traceability: Zero risk of chemical or synthetic adulteration.
- Volume Security: An uninterrupted flow of milk solids, even during lean summer months.
- Compliance Readiness: Auditable supply chains that satisfy FSSAI and international importing criteria.
By investing in farmers and sourcing infrastructure, Krushi Foods ensures that every kilogram of butter, ghee, and milk powder we process meets the exact quality specifications required by leading food brands.
