Brazilian market for Indian dairy products “Camel milk and special cheese “

India and Brazil are discussing a proposal to open the Brazilian market for Indian dairy products, including camel milk and special cheese.Both governments are collaborating on this initiative, following the recent opening of Brazil to Indian millet exports.The proposed partnership also involves plans to set up a centre of excellence in Amreli, Gujarat to boost milk production and improve herd quality.

Additional plans include the setting up of a research institute in India, with Brazilian cooperation. This project will involve the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB), the Indian Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying (DAHD), and the embassy, with a committee overseeing its progress. Indian imports of vegetable oil, sugar and pulses were major contributors to this trade imbalance. India exports spices and processed vegetables in far smaller quantities to Brazil. This proposed initiative in dairy trade is seen as a step towards rectifying this trade imbalance and enhancing bilateral cooperation.
