With the capacity utilisation set to grow in the coming years, Prabhat Dairy Ltd is expecting its B2C products to form 50 per cent of its total business by 2020 as against current 30 per cent. Prabhat Dairy's B2C products include liquid milk, cheese, paneer, curd and the recently launched ice-cream which it sells through retail outlets and modern trade. However, as of now, 70 per cent of its business comes from B2B where it supplies products to players like Mondelez, Abbott, Parle, Nestle and Future Group among others."Currently, our cheese plant is running at a 20 per cent capacity, though we are the third largest cheese manufacturer. We are expecting higher capacity utilisation of our products in the coming days where share of value added products will continue to grow.
