COVID-19 pandemic affected the farmers and the employees due to stringent lockdown rules initiated by the government.

Lactose-free dairy is a commercial product made from lactose-free milk. Lactose is a kind of sugar found in milk that some people find difficult to digest. Lactose-free dairy products are made by combining lactase with regular cow milk. Lactase is an enzyme that is spontaneously produced in the small intestine of an individual and is responsible for the breakdown of lactose in the body. It is a commercially available enzyme that may be isolated from yeasts such as Kluyveromyces fragilis and Kluyveromyces lactis, as well as molds such as Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus oryzae. Lactose-free dairy products have a taste, texture, and nutritional profile identical to ordinary milk and milk products in the market.
Intense competition in the lactose-free dairy market has encouraged market players to focus on strong branding and improved advertisements to attract the interest of the consumer.
