Procurement in the dairy industry involves sourcing fresh milk directly from farmers, cooperatives, or collection centers. The process ensures milk quality through rigorous testing for fat content, SNF, and contamination before acceptance. Milk is weighed, recorded, and rapidly cooled to 4°C in bulk milk coolers to maintain freshness. Efficient logistics and cold-chain systems are used to transport the chilled milk to processing plants, ensuring minimal spoilage and timely supply for further processing into consumer dairy products.
