IIMC Director Dr. Sujit Kumar Brahmochary discussed with the Italian consulate general and other Italian businessmen about the possibility of producing Mozzarella in West Bengal. An Italian business woman named Annamaria who also has a business in Kathmandu, Nepal is the owner of Fire & Ice Restaurant in Kolkata. She brought one technician from Kathmandu, and two boys at IIMC had been trained up for making Mozzarella.

As part of the Micro-credit programme, it allows 100 women to own a cow and sell back the milk to the project at a fair and fixed price. There is an agreement between IIMC and the owner of Fire & Ice Restaurant. The production is now 1: 10, i.e.1 Kilo Mozzarella = 10 litres milk. Every day the members of micro-credit supply over 100 litres of milk to the IIMC's Mozzarella Unit. The cost of milk per litre is  Rs.10 to 12 in the local market. But the IIMC Mozzarella project is giving Rs 16 per litre because of their economic betterment. So these women who take out loans from the Micro-credit bank can stand on their own feet and also lead a better life. Th women are able to pay back their loans and start to save, or apply for another loan. This makes a big difference to their lives and their families are realizing the impact of the programme.
