Chennai, 19 January 2024: Akshayakalpa Organic, a pioneering name in the organic dairy industry, is proud to announce the inauguration of its newest production facility at the Pooriyampakkam farm, near Chennai, Tamil Nadu. The sprawling factory, situated across 2 acres of land, stands as a testament to Akshayakalpa’s commitment to sustainable agriculture and the production of premium organic dairy products.
Chennai’s organic food scene is growing, and is highly driven by health-conscious residents and environmental awareness. While cost and limited reach remain hurdles, increased access through stores, markets, and quick commerce platforms is making organic options more attainable. Taking note of this, Akshayakalpa’s diverse offerings showcase a promising shift towards a sustainable and conscious food culture in the city.
The Pooriyampakkam facility is equipped with modern-day technology and has an impressive installed capacity of processing 40,000 litres of high-quality organic dairy products every day. This includes 34,000 litres of fluid milk and 6,000 litres of curd. The factory is designed to adhere to the stringent standards set by Akshayakalpa, ensuring that consumers continue to receive milk of the highest quality that is free from antibiotics, synthetic additives, and chemical pesticide residue.
“At Akshayakalpa, we are dedicated to providing our consumers with the finest organic dairy products while promoting ethical and sustainable farming practices. We believe that the heart of our success lies in the well-being of the farmers who work tirelessly to bring high-quality organic products to our table,” says Mr. Shashi Kumar, CEO and Co-founder of Akshayakalpa Organic.
One of the key highlights of this facility is its seamless integration with the farming community that works with Akshayakalpa in Pooriyampakkam. The unprocessed milk used in the production process is ethically sourced directly from local farmers who collaborate with Akshayakalpa.
Akshayakalpa empowers farmers through a unique closed-loop model. Farmers utilise Akshayakalpa’s training and support to transition to organic dairy farming, generating income from milk and dung-based biogas and manure. Akshayakalpa ensures fair prices, market access, and additional income streams like beekeeping and poultry, improving farmers’ lives beyond just milk production. This holistic approach fosters a sustainable future for both farmers and consumers. This not only ensures a direct and fair livelihood for the farmers but also contributes to the sustainability of the region’s agricultural practices.
Speaking about the factory launch, Shashi further adds, “Our newest factory in Pooriyampakkam not only signifies a leap forward in technological excellence but also represents a deeper connection with the local farming community. By directly partnering with the farmers in Pooriyampakkam, we are not just ensuring a direct and fair source of livelihood for them, but we are also fostering a symbiotic relationship that goes beyond transactional exchanges. This collaborative effort emphasizes our commitment to ethical and sustainable farming practices, empowering local farmers with the resources and support they need to thrive. Through this integration, we aim to create a positive impact not only on the quality of our products but also on the lives of those who contribute to the organic legacy we are building together.”
Akshayakalpa Organic, with this factory, continues to keep up with its efforts to innovate and raise the bar in the organic dairy industry by providing antibiotic free, pure milk. By expanding its production capabilities, the company aims to meet the growing demand for organic dairy products in the region and beyond.
