Who We Are

Nepal's Dairy Since 1969

The Dairy Development Corporation (दुग्ध विकास संस्थान) was established in 1969 as a public enterprise under the Government of Nepal. For over 55 years, we have been the cornerstone of Nepal's dairy industry — connecting farming families in the hills and plains with millions of households across the country.

Our mission is simple: deliver fresh, safe, and affordable dairy products while uplifting the livelihoods of Nepali farmers and strengthening food security nationwide.

Every glass of DDC milk carries the care of a Nepali farmer, the precision of our quality labs, and the trust of generations of families.
