If you live in Udupi or just care about what’s on the table, the dairy scene matters a lot. Milk, curd, paneer, butter – they’re part of everyday meals and also a big part of the local economy. This page pulls together the most recent news, price changes, and new product launches so you can stay in the loop without scrolling through dozens of articles.
Over the past month, milk prices have bounced up and down a bit. Farmers say a short rain spell hurt grazing, while vendors point to higher transport costs. The result? A 3‑4% rise in the price you pay at the shop. Most retailers are still offering discounts for bulk purchases, so buying a litre or two at a time can save a few rupees. Keep an eye on the weekly price chart on our site – we update it every Monday.
Supply‑side news is also worth watching. A new cooperative of small‑scale dairy farmers has joined the market, promising fresher milk and a fair‑price model. They source milk from villages around the Kundapura area and deliver it directly to city stores. If you’re interested in supporting local producers, look for their label on the packaging.
Udupi’s dairy makers are getting creative. This week a popular brand rolled out a low‑fat paneer that keeps the texture you love while cutting calories. The launch came with a free tasting booth at the town hall, and the feedback was mostly positive. If you love paneer in your curries, give the new version a try – it works just as well in stir‑fries and grills.
On the sweet side, a new flavored yogurt line hit the shelves, featuring mango, strawberry, and a local jamun twist. Each cup is topped with a sprinkle of roasted nuts for extra crunch. The product targets health‑conscious shoppers who still want a tasty snack.
Don’t miss the upcoming Dairy Fair at the Udupi Exhibition Center next Saturday. The event will showcase live milking demos, cheese‑making workshops, and a chance to meet the farmers behind the milk you drink. It’s a good way to learn where your food comes from and maybe pick up a few recipe ideas.
Health tips are part of the dairy conversation, too. Experts say a cup of milk a day can help meet calcium needs, especially for growing kids. If you’re lactose‑intolerant, look for lactase‑treated milk or plant‑based alternatives that still carry a dairy label for protein content.

These are supplemented by a variety of vegetables and fruits, which are seasonal and locally available. Dairy products and meat are consumed sparingly, and mainly by those who can afford it. Poor Indians usually have simple meals which consist of chapatis, dals and vegetables, or rice and sambar.
