The National Livestock Development Board (NLDB) has embarked on a program to add value to its products with an investment of US $ 10 million. It has submitted a project proposal to seek assistance from Israel to enhance turnover and profits. A number of measures has been taken to add value to milk and coconut based products. “We have started value addition to gain maximum benefit from our quality milk production. We have been selling the milk in raw form and could not fetch a high price in the past due to this. With measures taken to add value to the milk and coconut based products, we will earn a decent income,” NLDB Chairman Prof. H.W. Cyril said.
