Responding to PETA's suggestion that Amul switch to selling vegan products, the dairy brand questioned how employment to crores of people would be provided in that case. India's largest dairy cooperative, with an annual turnover of Rs 52,000 crore, sells Amul branded dairy products. Sodhi further asked whether PETA will give livelihood dairy farmers, 70% of which are landless. Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation Ltd is owned by 3.6 million farmers. Of these, around 2.6 million farmers bring their milk twice daily to 18,600 village societies.
