New Delhi, Nov 4 (PTI) Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation Ltd, which markets dairy products under the Amul brand, has been ranked the world’s number one cooperative based on its per capita GDP performance.

The ranking was made by the International Cooperative Alliance (ICA) World Cooperative Monitor 2025. The list was announced at the ICA CM50 Conference in Doha, Qatar.

This recognition underlines Amul’s contribution to empowering millions of dairy farmers through its cooperative model that promotes inclusive growth, social equity and sustainable rural development across India, GCMMF said in a statement on Tuesday.

Headquartered in Brussels, the International Cooperative Association (ICA) represents cooperatives worldwide and supports their sustainable business models.

Congratulating Amul, Union Cooperation Minister Amit Shah said in a post on Ji.#SahkarSeSamriddhi’s global model of empowerment and self-reliance.

Developed in partnership with EURICSE (European Research Institute for Cooperative and Social Enterprises), the World Cooperative Monitor analyzes the economic and social impact of the world’s largest cooperatives across sectors each year.

Jayen Mehta, Managing Director, GCMMF, said: “Amul is a wholly farmer-owned brand. They manage everything, from milk collection and production to marketing. Our impact goes far beyond economics; our model supports multiple UN Sustainable Development Goals, from poverty alleviation and gender equality to sustainable communities.”

Amul has a three-tier cooperative structure covering more than 18,600 village milk cooperatives and 36 lakh milk producers, the majority of whom are women.
