Overview

Raw milk is sourced from dairy farms and transported to processing facilities. It undergoes quality testing to ensure it meets safety and regulatory standards. Pasteurization/Homogenization: Milk is heated to specific temperatures to eliminate harmful bacteria, extend shelf life, and improve safety. Homogenization breaks down fat molecules to ensure uniform distribution. Depending on the product being produced, milk is processed further. For instance, cheese involves curdling and separating the solids from the whey, while yogurt is created through fermentation. Different dairy products may require the addition of various ingredients like cultures, enzymes, flavorings, and stabilizers to achieve the desired taste, texture, and shelf life. Processed products are packaged in various forms such as bottles, cartons, tubs, or bulk containers. Packaging ensures product safety, hygiene, and preservation.
The products are distributed to various retail outlets, supermarkets, restaurants, and foodservice establishments. Marketing strategies play a crucial role in promoting these products to consumers. Consumers purchase dairy products for direct consumption or for use as ingredients in cooking and baking. Increasing awareness about health and nutrition has led to demand for products with reduced fat, sugar, and additives, as well as a rise in lactose-free and plant-based alternatives. Concerns about environmental impact and animal welfare have prompted efforts to make dairy production more sustainable, from responsible farming practices to reducing packaging waste. The industry continually develops new products, flavors, and packaging formats to cater to changing consumer preferences. Dairy products are often traded internationally, making the industry susceptible to shifts in global demand, supply, and trade policies. Automation and technology are being integrated into dairy processing, leading to improved efficiency, quality control, and traceability.
