June 30: Yoghurt worth more than Rs 190 million has been sold across the country on Tuesday, June 29, 2021. The single-day boost in sale was observed on the National Paddy Day, when people, especially the farmers, follow a tradition of having curd and beaten rice.

The Dairy Development Corporation, Nepal Dairy Association, Dairy Industry Association and other cooperatives have sold 1.67 million liters of yoghurt worth Rs 192.21 million in a single day. 

According to the National Dairy Development Board, the Dairy Industry Association sold 700,000 liters of yoghurt worth Rs 85 million on Tuesday. Various cooperatives and other informal sectors across the country sold around 500,000 liters of yoghurt worth Rs 57.5 million. 

Likewise, Nepal Dairy Association sold a total of 400,000 liters of yoghurt worth Rs 47 million, while DDC also sold 71,400 liters of yoghurt worth Rs 8.21 million. 

Babu Kaji Pant, acting executive director of the Board, said that there was no significant sale of yoghurt on June 29 compared to the previous years. According to him, under normal circumstances, up to 2.5 million liters of yoghurt would be sold in the country on this day. 

According to the board, the sale of yoghurt by the DDC has come down by 10 percent while that the private sector has also come down by about 35 percent due to the pandemic. 

The market for dairy products has been gradually improving since the ban was lifted recently. Rudra Prasad Poudel, General Manager of the DDC, informed that the consumption of milk products has decreased as the areas that consume more dairy products such as hotels, restaurants and party palaces are closed due to the lockdown.
