VADODARA/ ANAND: Mehsana-based Dudhsagar Dairy has drawn critical grievance from the Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF) – the apex body of all district dairy unions of Gujarat through which the North Gujarat-based milk union is a member.
The dairy union is at loggerheads with GCMMF, the entrepreneurs of Amul logo, since the time its former chairman Vipul Chaudhary had to step down as federation’s chairman in December 2013.
In the latest round, Dudhsagar Dairy on Sunday handed a resolution all through its annual common board meeting to check in itself as multi-state cooperative society giving a veiled risk that it could section approach with Amul circle of relatives and blamed GCMMF for not supporting the dairy.
“Mehsana Dairy has piled on debts worth Rs 1,500 crore by way of making investments that were not required. These investments have been made without consulting GCMMF,” GCMMF’s managing director R S Sodhi stated while addressing mediapersons in Anand on Tuesday.
“Our board believes that Mehsana Dairy’s board has not given right kind concept to it. Such a transfer will damage long run of around 4,000 staff who are running with the dairy. Also, how will they set up to pay the banks?,” he stated.
“The dairy has not been able to supply right kind procurement costs to its individuals as a result of dangerous management. Compared to farmers of Mehsana, it is paying upper procurement costs to farmers in Rajasthan and Haryana. On one hand it is blaming us for not totally using their capability and alternatively it is spending cash by way of hiring dairy plants,” he stated.
The dairy is also charging extra for cattlefeed compared to other dairies of Gujarat.
Sodhi stated that if in any respect Mehsana Dairy separates out from the federation, milk producers of Mehsana will recuperate procurement costs as they are going to get the option of supplying milk to other milk unions which are individuals of federation.
On the opportunity of Mehsana promoting its milk independently in Delhi market, Sodhi stated that while Amul is market leader in the nationwide capital, there are 50 other small brands that promote milk in the nationwide capital region.
“It will develop into a 51st logo in Delhi. But we're worried about staff and banks. As regards to milk producers, we will ensure that they recuperate costs,” he stated.
GCMMF MD also questioned the will of a guest area worth Rs 20 crore that Mehsana Dairy has in South Delhi and a marketing place of business in Ahmedabad.
“Neither GCMMF nor another union which operates in Delhi felt the will of shopping for a bungalow. Also, once we are the selling body, why is the dairy working a marketing place of business and hiring manpower in Ahmedabad,” he stated.
