Strengthening Its Supply Chain and Enhancing the Production of High-quality Dairy Products

CASA partnered with Mangalam in two phases, concluding in April 2023. The first phase, launched in January 2021, focused on securing financing to establish an intermediate processing and chilling facility to extend the shelf life of raw milk. The second phase strengthened Mangalam’s supply chain by connecting it with milk collection centres, supporting smallholder farmers, and enhancing product quality. CASA provided financial and technical assistance, including expert support in accounting, engineering, and dairy technology, enabling Mangalam to improve operations and launch new products such as churpi, ice cream, and table butter.

To support expansion, Mangalam identified strategic milk collection locations in Sarlahi, with CASA facilitating connections and providing training on Good Manufacturing Practices. Further expansion into Bara and Mahottari established additional collection centres, strengthening the supply chain. CASA also organised marketing campaigns and launch events to boost Mangalam’s market presence across Province 2. The project spanned 12 months in phase one and 18 months in phase two, with a total investment of £40,850. Mangalam seeks additional debt financing of £326,000 to further develop its factory.
