This trend is also influenced by the rising vegan and lactose-intolerant population in the country. Additionally, there has been a demand for organic and locally sourced dairy products, as consumers prioritize quality and freshness. These shifts in consumer preferences are driven by the cultural emphasis on health and wellness, as well as the growing awareness of environmental impact.

Additionally, the government is promoting local milk production to reduce reliance on imports, which could lead to potential implications for international dairy companies operating in the market.
