Lanka Milk Foods ventures into new fields

Lanka Milk Foods has ventured into new fields in keeping with the country's need for hygienically produced milk products, in addition to marketing the renowned brand of full cream milk powder 'Lakspray' and have introduced many new products that cater to the market through their subsidiaries.

In 2001 Lanka Milk Foods leased out the Ambewela and Pattipola Dairy Farms and over the last seven years have shown vast improvements in the quality of milk, which is now manufactured up to the best standards in Western Europe, Australia and New Zealand.

The yield of milk per cow has increased by 50% over this period.

These significant achievements have been recognised by the Department of Agriculture, which in 2007 awarded Pattipola farm the title of 'The Best Large Scale Dairy Farm in Sri Lanka'.

Pattipola also has the honour of having the title of 'The Best European Cow in Sri Lanka' among its herd.

Director Finance and Administration, Ambewela Farms, Ranjit Attygalle said, 'The lush green fields where the cows graze in the cool and misty climate of Nuwara Eliya provides an ideal environment to produce the best quality milk.
