| | SRI LANKA: Nestle, Anchor, Govt, IMF denying food to infants |
 | | Nestle recently introduced a new variety of full cream milk named "NIDO", saying that they were doing this since there was no longer any fresh, full cream milk available in Sri Lanka (thanks to Nestle and others) and that full cream milk was essential for the nutrition of children. |
 | | Therefore, about half the population of the country is unable to feed their children with their essential milk requirements, even if they spend their entire family income on this alone. |
 | | After 20 years, there is no fresh milk available in the market, and the entire milk foods sector is in the hands of just two or three large companies, such as Nestle, Anchor and Maliban, which market only milk powders imported from the West. |
