Jaffna becoming popular for dairy products
 The Yalco Milk Collecting Centre Yoghurt factory, first of its kind, was set up under Uthuru Wasanthaya Programme in Jaffna..

This project was set up in Thirunelweli in Jaffna as a pilot project under the instructions of Minister Basil Rajapaksa after the end of the war with financial and technical assistance from the Economic Development Ministry to popularize milk productions in the peninsula.
Around 1000 families are benefitted from this project as people from adjoining Nallur, Kopai and other areas are selling milk daily to the factory thereby keeping the factory functioning successfully.

Jaffna famed for agricultural and fishery activities, is now gradually becoming popular for dairy products as well due to the vision of Minister Basil Rajapaksa.
