Ice cream business down by 40% amid COVID scare

The ice cream business which amounts to about Rs 4,500 crore annually has been badly hit by the coronavirus spread. Although sales of ice cream have improved slightly since the opening of the lockdown, but the demand in hotels, restaurants and canteens is still low.

Any institute associated with medical and disease control in the world, has not said that eating ice cream spreads the coronavirus, but retailers said that consumption of cold things has reduced in this period.
