Amul goes global: Partners with Spain’s COVAP to debut in Europe

Share

In a defining moment for the global dairy industry, Amul India has made its official debut in the European market, launching fresh milk in Spain and the EU through a landmark partnership with Spain’s top dairy cooperative, COVAP. This move marks more than just geographic expansion it’s a powerful fusion of heritage, scale, and cooperative strength, setting the stage for Amul to become a true international dairy force. The grand launch, hosted at the Indian Embassy in Madrid, was a symbolic blend of diplomacy, commerce, and cultural pride signaling a new era where India’s most trusted dairy brand enters the global stage with confidence and purpose.

Rolling out first in Madrid and Barcelona, with plans to reach Lisbon, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, and other key markets, this partnership is built not just on distribution muscle but on shared values of community, quality, and trust. Both Amul and COVAP are farmer-owned cooperatives an alignment that gives this deal a deeper resonance, especially in the lead-up to the UN’s International Year of Cooperatives in 2025. This isn’t just milk in a new market it’s a statement of intent rooted in collaboration, sustainability, and mutual empowerment.

For Amul, this European foray echoes Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of turning India’s grassroots institutions into global success stories. Amul’s arrival is not simply about selling products abroad it’s about exporting a model that celebrates the dignity of rural enterprise, the power of collective ownership, and the value of uncompromising quality. In an increasingly health-conscious and provenance-focused world, Amul’s legacy of purity, traceability, and farmer first philosophy is uniquely positioned to resonate across European households.

This isn’t just a launch it’s a leap. A leap of scale, of ambition, and of belief that India’s cooperative story can inspire global markets. And as glasses of fresh Amul milk begin to pour in kitchens from Madrid to Munich, this bold step becomes more than a business decision it becomes a global celebration of trust, tradition, and shared futures.
