Since 1961 Nestlé has operated the Moga Dairy factory in the Punjab, India. The factory produces milk powders, infant products and condensed milk.
The annual fresh milk intake of the Moga factory has risen from less than 12,000 tons in 1970 to 240,000 tons from 85,000 farmers in 2003. In order to achieve this impressive growth Nestlé India has supported a system of sustainable dairy farming. These sustainable methods involve field staff who provide technical assistance to milk suppliers and farmers about animal health, cattle breeding, fodder production and irrigation.

The regular milk payments and sustainable methods over the past decade have improved the livelihoods of tens of thousands of small-scale farmers in the region. They have had a positive social impact on the community and rural economy of Moga as a whole.
