Ghee & Specialty Cheese
A high-demand, value-added business case for a dairy production facility.
Executive Summary
This business case outlines a strategic investment into a value-added dairy processing facility specializing in two high-demand products: artisanal ghee and specialty cheeses (such as goat cheese). This venture is designed to integrate seamlessly with GrowShare Capital’s existing agricultural initiatives, transforming raw milk from our partner farms into premium, shelf-stable consumer goods. By capturing the value-add locally, we create a powerful new revenue stream, enhance the profitability of our entire agricultural ecosystem, and meet a growing consumer demand for high-quality, ethically-produced food products.
The global ghee market is projected to reach $8.9 billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 6.2%. Our entry targets a niche segment of this market focused on quality, locality, and ethical sourcing.
